ZrSi2 modified carbon phenolic (C-Ph) composites are prepared using different weight loadings of zirconium silicide particle by compression moulding. The thermal stability and ablation resistance of composites are investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and oxyacetylene torch test. Moreover, the phase composition and microstructure of ablated surface are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The results show that introduced ZrSi2 particles result in an evident increase in the residual weights of C-Ph composites at high temperatures, and the enhancement in thermal stability under air atmosphere exhibits positive effects on improving the ablation resistance of C-Ph composites. The optimum ZrSi2 weight loading for the improvement of ablation resistance in C-Ph composites is 5wt%. The linear and mass ablation rates of composites after modifying with 5wt% ZrSi2 particles are reduced by 80.5% and 55.2%, respectively. This work provides an effective way to prominently improve the ablation performance of C-Ph composites, and it maybe become a backbone of thermal protection system in aerospace.
