Beschreibung:
Carbon-carbon composites have many beneficial properties for use in aerospace applications, including their high specific strength and modulus at elevated temperatures. However, they share with all carbon based substances a strong tendency to burn when heated in air. In order to exploit their good qualities, it is necessary to slow or prevent their oxidation during use. Molecular inhibiters offer protection with the advantage of being able to form a homogeneous solution with the resin. Since boron oxides are known to provide the desired kind of protection, molecular compounds based on boron seem reasonable candidates to test as inhibitors. Performance tests indicated that carboranes are excellent materials for obtaining high uniform loadings of boron inhibitors in glassy carbon materials and thus reducing their rates of oxidation. Further, there is evidence that the use of substituted derivatives could provide more complete and thorough forms of protection.
