Properties, surface condition and composition of the carbon foams containing fillers such as the powder of glass and titanium white are investigated.These carbon foams were prepared by the heat-treatment of the phenol resin foam containing filler at heat treatment temperature of1500, 2000, 2500°C for30minutes under an atmosphere of Argon. Further, using the foam heat-treated at2900°C, the influence of the filler on graphitization is examined.
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used for the observation on the condition of surface of the carbon foams, further the spectroscope attached to SEM and X-ray diffractometer are used for the investigation of the composition of them.
The pores of the foam get out of shape as the heat treatment temperature are increased.
Bulk density of the foam increases with the elevation of the heat treatment temperature and the increase of the filler contents.
Condition of the distribution of the silicon in glass and titanium in titanium white is almost equal to all over the foam.So, the reason of increase of the compressive strength of the carbon foam is not reinforcement of the cell wall of the foam but the thickening of it.
Titanium and silicon carbonize at considerably lower temperature than that at which the usual carbide-cristalls are formed.
At the heat treatment temperature 2900°C, the graphitization of the carbonized phenol resin foam without filler is bad, therefore, multiple graphitization is shown in this case. But that of the carbon foam containing glass and titanium white are remarkably improved.
