Microstructure development in furfuryl resin-derived microporous glassy carbons
Journal of Materials Research
(1996)
Abstract
The processing of microporous glassy carbon derived from furfuryl alcohol
and ethylene glycol mixtures has been studied, with emphasis on understanding
and controlling microstructure development. It is shown that this system exhibits
a polymerization-dependent miscibility gap, and that the carbon microstructure is
determined by phase separation in the liquid state. Variations in carbon microstructure
with composition and thermal history can be understood in terms of the time-dependent
immiscibility and resulting phase separation.
