Abstract: | Summary The structure of pyrolytic carbon of various types has been investigated by the following methods: microstructural, electron-microscopic, X-ray structural, and microdiffractional analysis. Inter-particle regions have been discovered in pyrolytic carbon, which determine its anisotropic structure. It has been shown that thermal treatment of pyrolytic carbon at temperatures above 3000° results in the formation of blocks having a mosaic sub-structure, which cause a reduction in the azimuthal disorientation of carbon produced at a temperature higher than 2000° in a vacuum, corresponding to the structure of amorphized natural carbon.Translated from Zhurnal Strukturnoi Khimii, Vol. 6, No. 1, pp. 66–69, January–February, 1965 Original |
