Technical research progress in elastomeric heat shielding materials

Abstract

Ablation mechanism of elastomeric heat shielding materials (EHSMs) was briefly introduced and structural composition of EHSMs was systematically summarized from the viewpoint of elastomer matrix and filler system.Moreover, the research progress of flame retardant modification and resin modification of EHSMs at home and abroad was reviewed with 58 references.Finally, application prospects of EHSMs in the field of thermal protection system was prospected.
