Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention provide composite materials and methods of making the same. In some embodiments, the composite materials comprise high temperature resistant composite materials and methods of making high temperature resistant composite materials. In some embodiments, high temperature resistant composite materials of the present invention can be fabricated into landing pads, components used in landing pads to provide a structure to support the take-off and landing of aircraft, roadways or similar travel paths for heavy equipment, and/or components used in roadways or similar travel paths for heavy equipment. In one embodiment, a composite material comprises an inorganic ceramic matrix having a top surface in facing opposition to a bottom surface and at least one side surface between the top surface and the bottom surface, a first open weave fabric comprising a plurality of fibers disposed in the matrix proximate the bottom surface of the matrix, and at least one additional open weave fabric comprising a plurality of fibers disposed in the matrix between the first open weave fabric and the top surface of the matrix, wherein the at least one additional ope…
