Description
There is a clear need for a reliable U.S. source of low-cost, ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) insulation for use in hypersonic weapons that can protect internal heat sensitive components. ACM has developed high porosity, ultrahigh temperature ceramic (UHTC) foams with super low thermal conductivity using a scalable manufacturing process that produces near-net-shape, rigid/flexible insulation. Our ceramic foams have a thermal conductivity that is highly stable to ~1600°C. In the Phase II, ACM proposes to technically and economically optimize these porous foams and manufacturing process to meet the needs of specific platforms. Prototypes will be developed and characterized under relevant conditions.
