A special state of carbon is called glass carbon, which is made of thermal decomposition of a carbon polymer with transverse bonds. Glass carbon is also known in the industry as galaxy carbon. This type of polymer is usually made at temperatures between 900 and 1000 degrees. This material has different irregularities in its characteristics and reactions due to its different states.
This material has a black and shiny appearance. Detailed structural and partial studies of this material have shown that this material is a network of pitted conjoined structures. Glass carbon is easily payable.
According to a model, glass microcarbon structures are composed of graphite-like strips or microfibers. X-ray studies on this model indicate that between graphite-shaped bands, carbon atoms are located in honeycombs.
Glass carbon has different characteristics, the most important of which are :
1.Has very high temperature resistance
2.High electrical conductivity
3.Its hardness is high
4.Its thermal resistance is relatively low
5.Its density is low
6.Glass carbon shows very high resistance to chemicals
7.High resistance to penetration of liquids and gases
8.Having granular structure
9.Very high biocompatibility
The applications of modern glass carbon are forcibly expanding in the hidden industries. The most important applications of this material are as follows :
1. This material is widely used in industries where high temperatures are used
2.As evaporation chambers or lasers, glass carbon is used
3. It is used in chemical environments where there are highly corrosive substances
4.Used in dentistry
5. In the manufacture of semiconductor electrodes use this material
6.In combination of ceramics this material can be seen
7.Use in various glass industry
8. Use glass carbon to make very pure chemicals to enhance purity
9.Used as the main substrate for electrochemical reactions and crystal growth
10.Making a variety of preservatives
Glass carbon electrodes are used for electrochemical measurements such as LSV, CV and DPV and can be polished by the individual themselves.
