A new “buckypaper” heatshield made from carbon nanotubes could protect hypersonic aircraft from extreme heat during flight
The material, created by a team from Florida State University, was designed to be light enough to meet the needs of aerospace engineering while still withstanding extremely high temperatures. To that end, the heat shield is made up of sheets of carbon nanotubes (called buckypaper by the team) that are soaked in a phenol-based resin. The result is a flexible and lightweight material that will protect the aircraft from heat as well as provide structural reinforcement.
