摘要:
The present invention is embodied in a method of producing a ceramic foam. The steps for producing the ceramic foam include first mixing a liquid pre-ceramic resin with a liquid phenolic resin, second allowing the resultant mixture to chemically foam, third curing the mixture for a time and at a temperature sufficiently to convert the mixture to a polymeric foam, and then heating the resultant polymeric foam for a time and at a temperature sufficiently to completely break-down polymers of the polymeric foam and convert the polymeric foam to a ceramic foam.

The present invention is embodied in ceramic matrix composites with porous interfacial coatings and the methods and processes for fabricating such coatings integral with the ceramic matrix composites. Each ceramic matrix composite of the present invention includes a fibrous substrate or fabric material with a porous interfacial coating. The coating, prior to processing, is comprised of a coating solution made of a carbon precursor and a ceramic precursor resin dissolved directly within a solvent or solvents. Fabrication is achieved by first desizing the fibrous substrate, second immersing the desized fibrous substrate in the mixed coating solution, third evaporating the solvent and curing the precursor and resin via a low temperature cure, and fourth pyrolyzing the coating via a high temperature pyrolysis, preferably in an inert atmosphere. Next, the coated fibrous substrate is combined with a ceramic matrix composite (CMC). Last the coated fibrous substrate/CMC system is oxidized to remove the carbon particulates within the coating via high temperature air exposure to produce a CMC material with a porous interfacial coating.

The invention is a thermal insulation tile for providing thermal protection of the external surface of a vehicle. In detail, the tile includes a rigid ceramic core having top and bottom surfaces, side surfaces and parallel front and rear surfaces at a 15 to 45 degree angle to said top surface. A cover completely surrounds the core and is bonded thereto. A plurality of rigid rods extends through the core and the cover and are bonded thereto. The rods are at an angle of between 10 and 30 degrees to the top surface of the core, with the angle thereof in an angular direction opposite to the front and rear surfaces of the core.

The present invention is a ceramic matrix composite/organic matrix composite hybrid fire shield and the methods and processes for fabricating such a hybrid fire shield. The hybrid fire shield is comprised of an organic matrix composite substrate co-bonded with a cured-ceramic matrix composite layer made of a plurality of cured-ceramic matrix composite plies. First, the surface of the organic matrix composite is appropriately prepared to prevent delamination and enable proper bonding between the surface and the ceramic matrix composite layer. Second, the ceramic matrix composite layer is applied to the surface of the organic matrix composite. Next, the organic matrix composite with the applied ceramic matrix composite layer is processed to produce a co-bonded hybrid structure. The ceramic matrix composite layer is intended to be in direct contact with heat and flames. During impingement of the flames and heat, the cured-CMC layer pyrolyzes and converts from a polymeric to a ceramic composite material.

In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a method for adhering a first ceramic foam to a second ceramic foam. The method begins with impregnating a liquid resin with reinforcement fibers to form a liquid reinforced bonding resin. The liquid reinforced bonding resin is then applied to at least one of the ceramic foams. The foams are joined to each other with the liquid reinforced bonding resin disposed therebetween. The liquid reinforced bonding resin is cured to form a solid reinforced bonding resin. The solid reinforced bonding resin is pyrolyzed for adhering the first and second ceramic foams to form a ceramic bonding layer. The ceramic bonding layer is characterized by a porous ceramic matrix with reinforcement fibers disposed therein.
