Abstract
A coated ceramic has alumina as an amorphous residue from an alumina sol containing alumina powder or and, optionally, a high emittance powder. The alumina powder alters the rheology and wetting characteristics of the sol to aid in forming the residue and increases the alumina concentration (% solids) in the residue. The high emittance powder radiates heat out of the residue and away from the ceramic when the coated ceramic is heated, such as during orbital reentry.
