Using all polymer formulations, the PIP densification is improved almost 70% over traditional preceramic polymers and PIP material leading to cost and times saving for densifying ceramic composites made from powder or fibers.

Through the use of splicing methods, joining two different fiber types in the tow stage of the process enables great benefits to the strength of the material change.

Wire arc additive manufacturing has limited productivity and casting processes require complex molds that are expensive and time-consuming to produce.

The ID provides a solution approach for faster chemical processing and carbon functional grading from SiC to MC to provide a tougher carbon and CMC structure.

The solution proposed here is a modified carbon-based tile face that is mechanically combined with an insulative backing. The tile face is based on a material architecture to minimize weight and thermal conductivity while maximizing thermal stability.
