Pyrocarbon is a key material in the field of C/C composites, for aircraft brake disks, exit cones and nozzles for rocket motors or nose shields for strategic missiles. This abstract published elsewhere [1] provides a comprehensive survey on pyrocarbon properties and characterization, say: transmission electron microscopy, optical microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
