Vitreous Carbon
Glass-like carbon, often called glassy carbon or vitreous carbon, is a Graphitizing and non-graphitizing carbons, non-graphitizing, or nongraphitizable, carbon which combines glassy and ceramic properties with those of graphite. The most important properties are high temperature resistance, hardness (7 Mohs scale of mineral hardness, Mohs), low density, low electrical resistance, low friction, low thermal resistance, extreme resistance to chemical attack, and impermeability to gases and liquids. Glassy carbon is widely used as an electrode material in electrochemistry, for high-temperature crucibles, and as a component of some prosthetic devices. It can be fabricated in different shapes, sizes and sections. The names ''glassy carbon'' and ''vitreous carbon'' have been registered as trademarks, and IUPAC does not recommend their use as technical terms. A historical review of glassy carbon was published in 2021. History Glassy carbon was first observed in the laboratories ...
