In comparison to various other materials, Carbon Fiber, specifically Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) are pre-eminent in terms of efficiency and effectiveness for use on aeronautical systems. However, when influenced by heat, CFRP is known to undergo serious degradation that would significantly decrease the effectiveness of the polymers. In order to prevent this degradation and maintain the strength of the CFRP, thermal protective layers (TPLs) are constructed to prevent the CFRP from heat exposure. This research is focused on the examination of a specific TPL which is a hybrid composition of Epoxy resins and Carbon-Nanotubes (CNTs). The effectiveness of the specific thermal resistance of the TPL will be examined by analysis of its ability to successfully cause dispersion of heat across its surface instead of through it, and there will be back surface temperature measurements of the composites to determine how well the heat was prevented from reaching the CFRP. A flame torch test and heating plate test will be administered to examine these specific properties. Additionally, there will also be thermal composite analysis performed through finite element analysis (FEA) simulations on Ansys. To supplement the thermal property examination, the mechanical strength and storage properties of these composites will also be analyzed before and after heat exposure through FEA simulations on Ansys. This will indicate how effective the CFRP composites remain even after undergoing heat exposure to verify the TPL’s potential success in the aerospace industry.
