Carbon Fiber Oxidation in 4D (Adv. Mater. 42/2025)
Carbon Fiber Oxidation During atmospheric entry, spacecraft endure extreme heat that drives rapid oxidation of the carbon fiber heat shield. In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202502007), Benjamin M. Ringel, Francesco Panerai, and co-workers capture the evolving microstructure of porous carbon material under high-temperature oxidizing conditions, revealing the effects of diffusion-reaction competition on material response and effective properties, and informing the design of next-generation thermal protection systems.
