This book gives an excellent introduction to carbon materials for researchers in this field.
Carbon is an interesting and functional element forming many important materials, such as …

Superior performance fillers are considered as an effective means to enhance the
performance of carbon/graphite composites. However, poor interfacial properties and …

This study is focused on the effect of the porosity and chemical reactivity with silicon of the
carbon preforms on the properties of SiC pieces produced by reactive infiltration. Petroleum …

Owing to their exceptional properties, carbon–carbon composites have a variety of important
applications. One attractive approach for the efficient and low-cost production of such …

This review article is dedicated to the memory of Francisco (Paco) Rodríguez-Reinoso
(Granada 1941-Alicante 2020). Paco dedicated more than 56 years of his life to research on …

In this paper, self-sinterability of MCMB derived from a refined petroleum residue was
studied in detail. Green pieces were prepared from the MCMB by hot pressing and further …

Three petroleum pitches were prepared by applying three different treatments to the same
petroleum feedstock:(i) distillation, and (ii) two different thermal treatments. Pitch …

Mesocarbon microbead-silicon carbide (MCMB-SiC) composites were prepared by hot-
press sintering (2100° C/40 MPa/1 h) with two different graphitized MCMBs as the second …

Self-sintering of green petroleum coke (GPC) offers a critical approach to prepare high
performance carbon blocks owing to its remarkable homogeneity and high stability …

Fine spherical mesocarbon-microbeads (MCMBs), having average particle sizes of 24.57,
11.69 and 10.74 μm, were mixed with various amounts of solid-resins (with high β-resin …
