Effect of carbonization temperature on electrical conductivity of carbon papers prepared from petroleum pitch-coated glass fibers

Synthesis and application of epoxy resins: A review

“…If a fiber-resin bond is weak, this load transfer will weaken or break bonds between the resin matrix and fiber filaments. Carbon fibers are usually coated with sizing, a polymeric solution applied to improve their adhesion with the resin matrix [105][106][107][108]. Epoxy/ carbon fiber composites are used more extensively for structural applications than other high performance composites due to their overall high specific stiffness and strength properties [109].…”

Characteristics of a high compressive strength graphite foam prepared from pitches using a PVA–AAc solution

“…where d 0 0 2 is the graphite interlayer spacing, l is the X-ray wavelength (1.5406 Å ), L c is the average crystalline thickness, b is the full width-half maximum of the (0 0 2) peak, and u is Bragg's angle [25][26][27][28][29]. The interlayer spacing and crystal structures, as described by d 0 0 2 and g, of the graphite foams that were prepared using the hydrogel template at various slurry concentrations were obtained from the XRD patterns shown in Fig.…”

Superhydrophobic carbon-based materials: a review of synthesis, structure, and applications

“…Most current research on carbon-based materials has focused on their electrical, physiochemical, and mechanical properties [56][57][58]. In particular, surface properties such as robustness against environmental contamination are critical design considerations if intrinsic properties are to be maintained.…”
