Coating, Layer, and Bulk Material for Extreme Thermal Protection

BACKGROUND High-temperature applications, such as rocket engine combustion output, can reach temperatures as high as 3,315 °C (6,000 °F). Enough heat to fuse a concrete surface, like a launch pad, into glass. Fused concrete has a limited lifetime as structural integrity is compromised in some cases immediately, resulting in potentially dangerous...
