Abstract
Nextel Ceramic fibers are developed primarily for heat resistant applications. Due to their good strength to weight ratio, these fibers are finding extensive use both as reinforcement material and woven sheets used for various aerospace applications. This review deals with the role of Nextel founded structures for critical applications. These structures are employed as spacecraft shielding against debris attack and thermal insulation. Moreover the effect of different parameters including fiber/matrix interface and the microstructure for varying the properties of Nextel based structures are discussed.
