Carbon fabric manufactured through catalytic route

Abstract

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Aryan2Unicode;mso-bidi-language:HI">Carbon fabric is the key constituent of ablative liner used in rocket nozzle. It can be manufacture by oil and catalytic route. In oil process, the carbon fabric is manufactured by dipping rayon fabric in furnace oil. In this, the oil acts as the mediator of heating medium. In catalytic route, catalyst is used in place of oil. Oil process is simple technique of manufacturing carbon fabric. But several issues like low yield, wrinkle formation, shrinkage etc., are associated with it. In addition to this, due to slow heating, it takes more time for producing carbon fabric. Further, in oil process, the oil vapors pollute the working area and create the possibility of fire whereas catalytic process is advantageous over these issues. The yield can be enhanced through this process. Further, this route sorts out the issues of wrinkle and shrinkage formation, which are associated in oil process. Further, the carbon fabric can be manufactured in short duration through this route. In this research papers, the
