Carbon Composite Foam for Multi Radionuclide Trap

Abstract

different types of carbon composites namely nickel dispersed carbon foam (density 0.09 g. cm -3 and porosity 96%), nickel dispersed carbon coated alumina foam (density 0.03 g. cm -3 and porosity 99%) and carbon coated nickel foam (density 0.28 g. cm -3 and porosity 97%). The synthesis route of these carbon composite foams follow solution combustion route. By varying the reagents and quantities, the foam materials of interest were obtained. Such carbon composite foam materials are suitable for multi-trap applications.
