EFFECT OF CROSSLIIMKING ADDITIVES OIM THE PROPERTIES OF CARBONS DERIVED FROM SELECTED PRECURSORS

摘要

A study has been made of the effect of various crosslinking additives on the properties of carbons derived from several precursors. Included in the group of additives were:furfurylideneindene, furfurylidenefluorene, p-xylylideneindene, p-xylylidene-fluorene, pyromellitic dianhydride, H-Resin Type 3, dicyclopentadiene, and norbornadiene. By blending one of these additives with either a synthetic or commercial carbon precursor, a wide variety of carbon properties was obtained, thus affording avenues to control these properties by a controlled modification of the precursors.
