Abstract: Ultra-high temperature ceramic modified carbon/carbon (C/C-UHTCs) composites exhibit excellent mechanical properties under ultra-high temperature conditions, providing highly reliable advanced thermal structural materials for the research and development of next-generation hypersonic vehicles. This review summarizes the latest advances in preparation methods such as chemical vapor infiltration (CVI), precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP), reactive melt infiltration (RMI), and slurry infiltration (SI) for enhancing the mechanical properties of C/C-UHTCs composites. Based on the characteristics of each preparation process, the factors influencing mechanical performance are analyzed in depth. Finally, future directions for the development of C/C-UHTCs composites with high mechanical properties are proposed.
