Gypsum panels and methods for their manufacture are provided herein. The gypsum panels include a gypsum core having a first surface and a second opposed surface and a first fiberglass mat associated with the first surface of the gypsum core, such that gypsum from the gypsum core penetrates at least a portion of the first fiberglass mat.

A method for repairing damage on a non-friction surface of a carbon brake disc of an aircraft, includes: removal of a damaged region, cutting of a repair material, anti-oxidation modification of the repair material, bonding and curing, and high-temperature heat treatment. The anti-oxidation modification is performed on the repair material without affecting the mechanical properties of the repair material, which improves the anti-oxidation ability of the repair zone and avoids the preparation of an anti-oxidation coating. In this way, only the damage on the non-friction surface is repaired, and there is little effect on the mechanical properties, friction and wear properties and thermal conductivity of the carbon-carbon composite material.

Disclosed are: damage-resistant ECMCs that need to work and remain elastic between minus 120° C. and positive 300° C.; ECMCs that need to be able to contain a flame of 1900° C. for more than 90 minutes; and composite structures, especially highly stressed structures. One of the characteristic problems of ceramic matrices is their fragility. Indeed, when a fracture starts, it propagates easily in the matrix. Disclosed are elastic ceramic matrix composites (ECMCs), for which: the ceramic matrix is split into solid “ceramic microdomains” (CMDs); the CMDs are connected to one another by a dense network of “elastic microelements” (EMEs); and the bonds between the EMEs and the CMDs are strong chemical bonds, preferably covalent.
