About Vitreous Carbon Honeycomb

Vitreous Carbon HoneycombHoneycombs are most often an array of hollow hexagonal cells with thin vertical walls. Sheets of metal can be placed on the top and bottom of the honeycomb to create a strong flat surface. Vitreous Carbon Honeycomb is low density permeable material with numerous applications. The defining characteristic of this honeycomb is a very high porosity, typically 75-95% of the volume consists of void spaces. Metallic Honeycomb has found a wide variety of applications in heat exchangers, energy absorption, flow diffusion and lightweight optics. Ceramic Honeycomb is often used for thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, adsorption of environmental pollutants, filtration of molten metal alloys, and as substrate for catalysts requiring large internal surface area. The geometric structure of vitreous carbon honeycomb allows for the minimization of material used thus lowering weight and cost. The honeycomb pattern has a high strength-to-weight ratio. Vitreous Carbon Honeycomb is generally immediately available in most volumes. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available. Vitreous Carbon honeycomb is used in numerous engineering and scientific applications in industry for both porosity and strength.

Carbon Bohr ModelThe number of electrons in each of Carbon's shells is 2, 4 and its electron configuration is [He]2s2 2p2. In its elemental form, carbon can take various physical forms (known as allotropes) based on the type of bonds between carbon atoms; the most well known allotropes are diamond, graphite, amorphous carbon, glassy carbon, and nanostructured forms such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and nanofibers . Carbon is at the same time one of the softest (as graphite) and hardest (as diamond) materials found in nature. It is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and the fourth most abundant element (by mass) in the universe after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. Carbon was discovered by the Egyptians and Sumerians circa 3750 BC. It was first recognized as an element by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789.
