“…Carbon reinforcement/carbon matrix (C/C) composites possessing high specific strength at room and increased temperatures, high electrical and thermal conductivities, and excellent dimensional stability − are on the trend of being widely used in space aircrafts (as structural materials and in situ health monitoring systems), automobile industries (disks in the brake system), and biomedical devices (artificial bones and heart valves). − These characteristics of C/C composites are beneficial in the field of biomedical and aeronautics for the fabrication of bone plates and artificial heart components, , rocket nozzles, exhaust cones, and aircraft disk brakes ,, due to their superior structure–property correlations: (1) whole carbon system with excellent stability, (2) low density of ∼2 g/cm 3 , (3) superior frictional and wear performance, (4) extraordinary ablation resistance, and (5) optimal electrical and thermal conductivities. ,− In particular, these characteristics are critical for materials used in space technology development. For example, in 2018, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe to the sun to collect data about the inner workings of the corona.…”

As an excellent candidate for lightweight structural materials and nonmetal electrical conductors, carbon nanotube reinforced carbon matrix (CNT/C) composites have potential use in technologies employed in aerospace, military, and defense endeavors, where the combinations of light weight, high strength, and excellent conductivity are required. Both polymer infiltration pyrolysis (PIP) and chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) methods have been widely studied for CNT/C composite fabrications with diverse focuses and various modifications. Progress has been reported to optimize the performance of CNT/C composites from broad aspects, including matrix densification, CNT alignment, microstructure control, and interface engineering, etc. Recent approaches, such as using resistance heating for PIP or CVI, contribute to the development of CNT/C composites. To deliver a timely and up-to-date overview of CNT/C composites, we have reviewed the most recent trends in fabrication processes, summarized the mechanical reinforcement mechanism, and discussed the electrical and thermal properties, as well as relevant case studies for high-temperature applications. Conclusions and perspectives addressing future routes for performance optimization are also presented. Hence, this review serves as a rundown of recent advances in CNT/C composites and will be a valuable resource to aid future developments in this field.

The study demonstrates the possibilities of using, as well as the features associated with the use of, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for military and peaceful purposes. Information is provided on the need to use components that would contribute towards ensuring thermal protection against modern laser weapons. The requirements for such materials are given, according to the field of application of the UAV. An analysis of the available materials that can be used to create thermal protection of UAVs against laser weapons is provided. The thermophysical characteristics of various materials are presented. The work presents technological features of production and properties of low-density carbon–carbon composite materials (CCCM). It is proposed to consider the prospects of using CCCM materials for not only the UAV structural components but also other purposes.
