🔬 Exciting breakthrough in ultrahigh-temperature materials!
Researchers have successfully developed a novel porous dual-phase high-entropy ceramic that combines exceptional thermal resistance (>2000°C) with remarkable porosity levels of up to 96.4%.
This innovative material, featuring both high-entropy boride and carbide phases, demonstrates extraordinary properties: ultra-low density (0.31 g/cm³), impressive strength, and superior thermal insulation capabilities.
What makes this particularly fascinating is the unique fabrication approach using foam-gelcasting-freeze drying technology, creating a uniform porous structure that maintains structural integrity under extreme conditions.
The implications for aerospace, energy, and industrial applications are significant. Could this be the next generation of thermal protection systems?
