Title: Thermal Diffusivity and Conductivity in Ceramic Matrix Fiber Composite Materials - Literature Study

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/821297· OSTI ID:821297

A technical literature review was conducted to gain an understanding of the state of the art method, problems, results, and future of thermal diffusivity/conductivity of matrix-fiber composites for high temperature applications. This paper summarizes the results of test method development and theory. Results from testing on various sample types are discussed with concentration on the anisotropic characteristics of matrix-fiber composites, barriers to heat flow, and notable microstructure observations. The conclusion presents some observations from the technical literature, drawbacks of current information and discusses potential needs for future testing.
