Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal protection materials, including rigid insulation tiles, flexible insulation felt, anti-oxidation C/C, and C/SiC, have the characteristics of being lightweight, high-temperature resistant, damage resistant, etc. Thermal protection materials are an important part of aerospace shuttle aircrafts, affecting the progressiveness, reliability, maintainability, and economy of aircrafts. With the improvement of equipment performance, the uncertainty analysis of thermal protection materials is increasingly becoming a topic of concern. Because of the complexity and diversity of thermal protection material design, its failure mechanism is very complex and uncertainty analysis is challenging. Taking C/SiC composite materials as an example, this involves macro (e.g., layer angle and layer thickness) and micro parameters (e.g., fiber volume fraction and the fiber distribution mode of composite materials), which all have an impact on material properties. Therefore, we need to carry out performance analysis research; quantify the uncertain factors of design, molding, machining, and assembly for thermal protection materials; and then develop uncertainty analysis methods to improve the reliability of thermal protection materials.
This Special Issue will focus on the failure behaviors and performance analysis of thermal protection materials based on the quantification of uncertain factors. New experimental techniques and theoretical studies on these fields are very welcome in this issue. Submissions of original research articles, review articles, and case studies are also encouraged.

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.
