Improved oxidation resistance of high emissivity coatings on fibrous ceramic for reusable space systems

Submitted by Dr. Hanaor - D… on

High emissivity coatings Radiate heat away from a reusable spacecraft while providing high temperature insulation during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

In this work the emissivity and stability of disilicide based coatings is studied. These materials exhibit intruiging self-healing properties and outstanding thermal performance.
