High-temperature protective coatings for carbon fibers

Abstract

Literature data are used to examine the current status of the problem of effective oxidation protection for carbon materials; materials capable of protecting fibers from oxidation, including inorganic polymers, such as oxides, carbides, nitrides, borides, silicides, and their combinations; coating procedures and conditions; thickness and fracture toughness of coatings; materials design limitations related to the reactivity of the components of fiber-reinforced materials; and new approaches to the selection of protective coating materials.
