USE OF COAL-BASED FEEDSTOCK TO MAKE MESOPHASE PITCH FOR GRAPHITE ARTIFACTS PART I: THERMAL ROUTE

摘要

Introduction Mesophase pitch is an important industrial raw material for producing premium carbon and graphite products, such as high strength and high modulus carbon fibers [1], highly conductive carbon foams, matrices for carbon/carbon composites and meso-carbon microbeads (MCMB) for Li-ion battery applications, just to name a few.
