N2 - The novel multifunctional lightweight composites (MLCs) reinforced with integrated preform were prepared for thermal protection system (TPS) of hypersonic vehicles in extreme aerothermodynamic environment. The high-temperature behavior including thermal physical properties decomposition performance, and the ablation resistance were tested by the oxy-acetylene torch system, as well as the micro-morphologies of MLCs from non-destructive testing were investigated. An integration factor was proposed to evaluate the comprehensive performance of MLCs. The results show that MLCs had high structural efficiency without delamination and defelting, excellent thermal insulation performance, and superior ablation resistance ability. The comprehensive performance of MLCs had obvious advantages to polymer-matrix composites (PMCs). The novel MLC reinforced with integrated preform can help for the development of thermal protection materials of hypersonic aircrafts.
