General description

Glassy carbon shows only short range order in its structure. Photoacoustic doppler effect from the suspension of spherical carbon particles was investigated. Glassy carbon exhibits a specific conductivity of 700Scm-1. 4

Application

•Electrochemical Applications: as Electrodes thanks to excellent conductivity and inertness; as Substrate for catalytic materials in Electrochemical Sensors; Modified with catalysts for green catalysis.
•High-Temperature Applications: as Crucibles, as Furnace Components; as Thermocouple Protection.
•Semiconductor Industry: as Wafer Handling (wafer holders and susceptors); as durable electrode material for plasma etching and ion implantation.
•Biomedical Applications: as load-bearing joints and dental implants; as Scaffold material for Tissue Engineering.
•Other Applications: Antistatic Agent (prevents static electricity buildup in packaging); Molding Materials (precision and glass molding); as Fuel Cell Electrodes.
Amorphous carbon may be used to develop zero temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) based systems. Glassy carbon has been used as a catalyst support for bimetallic Rh–ReOx. It may be used to enhance the accuracy of infrared (IR) surface temperature measurements on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS).

Features and Benefits

•Customized for battery: our 2-12 μm spherical glassy carbon
•Electrical Conductivity: Excellent conductivity (700Scm-1) makes it ideal for electrochemical applications.
•Chemical Inertness: High resistance to chemical reactions enhances durability in harsh environments.
•High-Temperature Resistance and low thermal expansion: Can withstand temperatures up to 3000°C, suitable for high-temperature applications. •Biocompatibility: Safe for use in biomedical applications, particularly in prosthetics and tissue engineering.
•Tailorable Properties: Customizable properties through heat treatment and surface modifications.
