To obtain new high-temperature resistant composites that can meet the requirements of aircraft development for thermal insulation and mechanical properties, SiBCO aerogel composites were prepared by sol-gel, supercritical drying and high-temperature pyrolysis with trimethyl borate (TMB) or phenylboronic acid (PBA) as the boron source and mullite fiber as reinforcement. The structure and composition of the SiBCO aerogel and its composites were characterized with SEM, FT-IR, ICP and nitrogen adsorption tests. The specific surface area of the SiBCO aerogel is 293.22 m2/g, and the pore size is concentrated in the range of 10–150 nm. The mechanical properties, the thermal insulation properties and the temperature resistance were also studied. Due to the introduction of boron, the temperature resistance of SiBCO aerogel composites is improved greatly, and the service temperature of composites reached 1773 K. When n (TMB)/n (TEOS) = 1/1, the temperature resistance of the composites is the best. After heating in air at 1773 K for 30 min, the shrinkage of SiBCO aerogel composites is only 2.45%, and the thermal conductivity of the composites is 0.138 W/(m·K) at 1773 K. In addition, the type and amount of catalyst also have certain effects on the mechanical properties and temperature resistance of the composites.

Be aimed at the development and application of aerospace high-temperature resistant ceramic fiber felt, in this paper, as the common ceramic fiber felt in the field of high temperature resistance, quartz fiber felt, high silica fiber felt and mullite fiber felt were compared. The microstructure, thermal insulation, temperature resistance and mechanical properties were analyzed respectively, the performance advantages and disadvantages of three kinds of ceramic fiber felt were given, and its internal causes were studied. The results show that, the temperature resistance of mullite fiber felt is better than that of quartz fiber felt and high silica fiber felt, mainly due to its polycrystalline mullite structure, the thermal insulation performance of mullite fiber felt and high silica fiber felt is better than quartz fiber felt at high temperature, mainly due to the thermal reflection of polycrystalline mullite and the small pore structure of high silica fiber felt, the compressibility of quartz fiber felt is better than high silica fiber felt and mullite fiber felt.

Based on the analysis of recent publications of scientific and technical literature, data on the production of zirconium oxide fibers used for the manufacture of high-temperature thermal insulation materials are presented. Information is provided on various methods of obtaining zirconium oxide fibers (methods of impregnation of the template and molding of the mixture, sol-gel method of spinning a fiber-forming precursor solution), as well as on the technique of fiber molding (manual pulling, dry and wet spinning, blowing and electrospinning). The use of such fibers for the production of thermal insulation materials (felts, cords and blocks) instead of currently existing materials made of aluminum oxide-based fibers can significantly increase the operating temperatures of the thermal protection systems.

Al2O3-TiO-TiO2 multiphase foam ceramic was prepared with Al powders and TiO2 powders by combustion synthesis, Direct observation and metallographic microscope indicated that the pore diameter is 100~6000μm, and Archimedean method showed that the porosity is 35~50%. The influencing factors of the pore diameter and porosity and, the effects of adding SiO2 on compression strength of the Al2O3- TiO-TiO2 multiphase foam ceramic were discussed. It was shown that the addition of proper high temperature foaming agent can increase porosity and adding SiO2 can decrease porosity. The Al2O3-TiO-TiO2 multiphase foam ceramic has good mechanical properties and high-temperature resistance.

Low-density xSiO2-(1-x)Al2O3 xerogels with x=0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6 (mole fractions) were prepared by sol-gel and non-supercritical drying. Silica alkogels, which were the framework of binary composite materials, formed from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) by hydrolytic condensation with a molar ratio of TEOS: H2O: alcohol: hydrochloric acid: ammonia =1: 4: 10: 7.5×10-4: 0.0375. Aluminum hydroxide derived from Al(NO3)3·9H2O and NH4OH acting in the alcohol solution under the condition of catalyst. After filtrating and washing, the precipitation was mixed into silica sols to form SiO2-Al2O3 mixed oxide gels with different silicon and aluminum molar ratio. The structural change and crystallization of the binary xerogels were investigated after heat treatment at 600 for 2 h by the means of X-ray diffraction. Nitrogen adsorption experiment was performed to estimate specific surface area, porous volume and pore size distribution. The structural change of xerogels was observed by FT-IR spectroscopy. The resulting mixed xerogels possess of mesoporous structure which is characteristic of cylindrical pores, high specific surface area of 596-863 m2/g and a relatively narrow pore distribution of 2.8-30 nm. Al2O3 is introduced into the SiO2 phase and some of Al-O-Si bonds form.

A new lightweight thermal insulation board, containing expanded perlite and inorganic silicate binder with corresponding industrial production procedure was developed. The industrial technology was developed in cooperation between company Trimo d.d. and Faculty of chemistry and chemical technology Ljubljana and among others includes mixing of raw materials, molding, microwave drying and high temperature treatment of the dried board. A new product has low density (130 – 160 kg/m3), good mechanical properties and durability and can be used in various fields where inorganic thermal insulation is required. The current work presents the experimental study of the final process during plate production – high temperature treatment with sintering. During thermal treatment of the board, certain shrinkage is required to obtain sufficient mechanical properties and durability. Controlling the process of high temperature thermal treatment is the key to achieve the right balance between low final density of the board and its good mechanical properties.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the thermo-mechanical properties of composite made from geopolymer/carbon fiber/TiO2 NPs. The composite was fabricated from geopolymer based on metakaolin added with carbon fibers as reinforcement and TiO2 NPs as self-cleaning agent. The thermal properties of the composite was examined by subjecting the samples to temperature up to 750OC for 4 hours. The mechanical properties of the resulting materials were measured by using flexural and tensile strength measurements. The experimental results showed that the compsite exhibited high temperature resistance and the addition of carbon fiber were increase the flexural as well as the tensile strength of the composite.
