Abstract
This study examines the influence of carbonization features, char structures and microstructures of graphitic carbon (GC) on the ablation behavior of graphite (G) and pre-oxidized mesophase pitch (OMP) modified boron phenolic (BPR) composites. Results showed that the introduced G and OMP can both effectively hinder the growth of defects, while improve the graphitization degree of residue char during ablation. However, some areas of the ablated surface of GBPRs would randomly splashed at an early stage because of the thermal dimensional stability mismatch between G and matrix. But as the OMP underwent a carbonization process, in company with the resin matrix, the ablated surface of OMPBPRs keep complete and smooth. Therefore, we found that the formation of mosaic combination and the compatibility of co-carbonization process are the keys for enhanced ablation performance. These findings would provide some inspirations for the development of more advanced polymer-matrix ablative composites in the future.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
