Abstract

Abstract Carbon foams were produced from mixtures of mesophase pitch and mesocarbon microbeads (MCMBs) and the effects of MCMB addition and the MCMB particle size on the structure and properties of the foams were investigated. Experimental results showed that the addition of MCMBs raised the compressive strength due to the reduction of micro-cracks as well as the increase of bulk density. The thermal diffusivity increased initially and then decreased when the amount of MCMBs was raised. Compared to the particle size of MCMB, concentration makes a larger contribution to pore size and properties under the current experimental conditions.
