Applications include high-temperature structural materials for aerospace and transport equipment.
A layered composite boasts easy-to-modify composition and architecture of layers to provide effective functioning. The composites are based on MAX-phase compounds (Ti3AlC2, Ti3SiC2) known as layered nanolaminate materials with a unique set of metal- and ceramic-bound properties (high melting point, thermal and electrical conductivity, resistance to thermal shocks, etc.).
