Glassy Carbon, Alloys
Abstract
Glassy carbons containing the element iron were prepared by pyrolysis in an inert atmosphere from copolymers of furfuryl alcohol (PFA) and organometallics such as ferrocene dicarboxylic acid (FDA) and vinyl ferrocene (VF) at temperatures from 500C to 970C. The purpose of this study was to determine the possibilities of ultimately modifying the structure and properties of glassy carbon by the addition of organometallic derivatives of the element iron to organic precursors of glassy carbon. In this report, attention will be directed toward the study of the distribution of iron and its effects on the morphology and mechanical properties of the glassy carbon matrix as a function of pyrolysis temperature and iron content.
