6. Applications
Pyrocarbons are used in four main fields of application: aerospace, energy, industry and medicine, either in massive or thin-film form, or as part of a composite. Except in the last case, it is obviously their excellent properties, even at high temperatures, that justify their use.
6.1 Aerospace applications
Pyrocarbons used in aerospace are mainly used as matrices in carbon/carbon composites (also known as C/C, C f /C, CFC or CFRC), combined with carbon fibres. ...
