Lightweight Ceramic Insulation and Method (MSC-20782)

Abstract:
NASA has introduced an alternative approach to the fabrication of ceramic insulation that is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1600 degrees C. The process takes water-soluble salts, such as sodium carbonate and aluminum sulfate, and converts them into a powder of porous particles through a cryogenic liquid/freeze drying technique.
