Dust cooling can shorten post-shock gas cooling times by about a factor of two, but thermal sputtering destroys most grains above 3×10^6 K; survival reaches only ~20% for flat distributions at solar metallicity.

The influence of dust destruction on gas cooling
Dust cooling can shorten post-shock gas cooling times by about a factor of two, but thermal sputtering destroys most grains above 3×10^6 K; survival reaches only ~20% for flat distributions at solar metallicity.
