MTSC 6530G - Carbon Based Materials

The course examines the present state of processing, properties and application of carbonaceous materials. Old and new forms of carbon will be introduced, including coke from coal and petroleum, natural and artificial graphite, carbon blacks, activated carbons, synthetic diamonds, diamond-like carbon, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. Emphasis will be placed on novel carbon forms such as CVD diamond, carbon nanotubes and amorphous carbon films. In addition, the physicochemical and surface chemical properties of several forms of carbon will be examined in detail.
