10th International Conference on High Temperature Ceramic-Matrix Composites - Register before May 31st!!

Conference Topics > Topic 10 - Carbon-carbon Composites

Topic 10 – Carbon/carbon composites

 (in honor of Dr. Roland Weiß)

Carbon/carbon composites are the oldest and most widely used family of CMC materials. Designed originally for space applications under extreme thermal and mechanical loads and reduced time of utilization, they have diversified their applications to many other fields, among which aircraft and automobile braking, high-temperature industrial reactor parts, etc … The processing techniques are numerous, resulting in a fascinating family of materials with vastly varying properties and performances. Even though, research and development on C/C composites is still very active, with studies focused on fundamental science (chemistry, mechanics, engineering science) up to the design of innovative carbon-based composites for new applications. This topic encompasses all recent activities on C/C composites, from the most fundamental to the latest applications.
