Carbon Materials Research
Penn State has a rich 50-year history in carbon materials research. Examples of carbon research activities today include:
- Catalytic graphitization of anthracite
- Development of superior binders for carbon
- Production of carbon black from tar thru steam pyrolysis of bituminous coal
- Characterization of pre-baked carbon anodes using x-ray computed tomography
- Effect of inorganic impurities on graphite oxidation
- Wetting characteristics of binder pitch on petroleum coke in the presence of surfactant additives
- Catalytic oxidation of carbon/carbon composite materials
- Automated image analysis of coke and carbon
- Thermogravimetric analysis of green carbon artifacts
- Additives for pitch polymerization
