Chemical Engineer Dr. working at Malatya İnönü University. Yeliz Toptaş and Research Assistant Murat Toptaş, Department of Mechanical Engineering, will protect aircraft from laser weapons developed a composite material.

The material is twice as light as water above 2,600 degrees can withstand temperatures. This innovative fabric, for which a patent has been applied, contains nanoparticles, metal oxides and boron-doped minerals.

How exactly does this material work?

Dr. Yeliz Toptaş said the developed material came from laser weapons. by absorbing high heat energy It spreads over the entire surface and cools quickly.

So airplanes minimal damage sees. The material is highly resistant to chemical erosion and corrosion and is also resistant to moisture and water.

This composite material, first produced in Turkey, has macro and micro pores.

These porous structures spread the heat from laser weapons over the entire surface. prevents overheating. It is also a major advantage that the material is economical and is produced entirely in the country itself.

Thanks to the boron compounds in the material, it is resistant to heat above 2600 degrees. fast cooling function It makes money.

Dr. Yeliz Toptaş, used in the aviation industry Compared to materials such as aerogel, He states that the composite material is quite superior.

However, due to the brittle structure of aerogels, their areas of use are limited, but thanks to the high durability of the developed composite material, has a much wider area of ​​use emphasizes that this is the case.

The chemical content of the material has the potential to improve safety, durability and performance criteria in the aerospace industry.

İnönü University Mechanical Engineering Department Research Assistant Murat Toptaş works at Wichita State University in the USA. Prof. Dr. Guidance of Ramazan Asmatülü He states that they completed this project within a year.

The material is expected to bring about a major change in the aerospace industry. of the material It is twice as light as water, Its properties, such as resistance to high temperatures and economical production costs, could revolutionize the aerospace and defense industries.

During production starting as a liquid The material solidifies when it comes into contact with air and offers great advantages in terms of flexibility and adaptability.
