Abstract:The recent research and application of the oxidation protection modified by ceramics for carbon/ carbon
composites at high temperatures were reviewed, including oxidation protective ceramic coatings and ceramic matrix
hybrid modified composites. The anti-oxidation ceramic coatings contain three different temperature ranges i. e.
below 1 800℃, 1 800℃ to 2 200℃, and above 2 200℃. The ceramic matrix modified composites include SiC ceramic
matrix modified composites and ultrahigh temperature ceramic matrix modified composites. To meet the extreme environments
of hypersonic vehicles thermal protective materials above 2 200℃ under oxidation condition, the problems
in present research and the further development directions were proposed.
