Ultra-high temperature ceramics: Materials for Extreme Environment Applications IV
Abstract
A major focus of recent work is to combine the properties of ultra high temperature ceramic (UHTC) compounds with the concepts behind the design and manufacture of ceramic matrix composites, to form a new class of materials known as ultra high temperature ceramic matrix composites (UHTCMC). When this development is combined with the ongoing work on MAX phases (layered hexagonal carbides and nitrides), which are materials that share many processing characteristics with the UHTC phases, it makes sense to bring researchers working in this area together. In addition, potential applications for UHTCs and MAX phases outside of aerospace are now being researched, e.g. in nuclear, defence and other structural applications.
