About Vitreous Carbon Sponge

Vitreous Carbon SpongeVitreous Carbon sponges have high porosities- 75-95% of volume is empty space. Vitreous Carbon sponges are produced by injecting gas or mixing a foaming agent into molten metal which creates a froth that is stabilized by a high-temperature foaming agent. Vitreous Carbon sponges are cellular structures made with a large volume fraction of pores. Ceramic foam 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. Vitreous Carbon Sponge is generally immediately available in most volumes. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available. Sponge traits include low density, high stiffness, high energy absorbance, low thermal conductivity, low magnetic permeability, fire resistance, and sound dampening qualities. Vitreous Carbon sponges are used in a wide variety of applications potentially including heat exchangers, energy absorption, flow diffusion, and lightweight optics.

Related Elements

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.
