Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal protection material which combines lightweight, non-ablation, thermal insulation, and reliability is the core technology for the development of space vehicles. However, the low-usage temperature of traditional thermal insulation materials limited the application of aircraft in ultra-high temperature environments above 1700°C. Therefore, new ultra-high temperature thermal protection materials have become a hot spot for research in various countries.
TUFROC used in the X-37B aircraft represents the current trend of ultra-high temperature thermal protection and insulation composites. To date, numerous efforts for ultra-high temperature thermal protection and insulation composites have been made to meet higher temperature resistance, durability, and reliability requirements of materials.
The Special Issue “Ultra-High Temperature Thermal Protection and Insulation Composites” aims to collect the most recent achievements in ultra-high temperature thermal protection materials, which forecast important advances in novel thermal insulation materials. Manuscript and review papers will summarize the issues that exist in the current material system as well as their solutions. Both review and research articles are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
