Heat Shielding Technologies

Heat shielding technologies are materials and systems designed to protect objects from extreme heat, especially during high-temperature events like space re-entry or fires. They work by reflecting, absorbing, or dissipating heat to prevent damage. Common examples include ceramic tiles on spacecraft, which withstand intense re-entry heat, or insulated barriers in buildings that keep indoor environments cool. These shields are made from specialized materials that can tolerate high temperatures while maintaining structural integrity, ensuring safety and functionality when exposed to severe heat conditions.
