Pitch Based Advanced Carbon Materials

Resourceful Utilization Technologies of Pitch

Abstract

Several new carbon materials have been developed in Osaka Gas Co. Ltd. so far. Especially, the general purpose carbon fibers and the activated carbon fibers have already been commercialized. The other advanced carbons such as the pitch fluoride, the carbon film, and the super activated carbon have also been investigated. In this paper, we present some attractive features and applications of these newly developed carbon materials.
