Synthesis and properties of porous carbon materials from natural cryptocrystalline graphites

Preparation and Properties of Graphite/Antimony Composites Based on Coal Tar Pitch

“…Since carbon or graphite material is filled with a large number of microspores which decrease the mechanical strength and oxidation resistance of the material, impregnation and reinforcement methods are typically employed to fill pores. Many achievements have been made in impregnating porous carbon/graphite with nonmetals (such as resin) or metals (such as aluminum, copper, Babbitt metal and antimony) effectively compacting pores, improving material performance parameters such as oxidation resistance, strength and hardness, and enhancing applications in extreme operating conditions including high temperatures, heavy loads and high abrasion environments [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. As an impregnating material, antimony is superior to others, and has become a recent focus in the field of impregnated carbon/graphite materials [1,[12][13].…”
