The
Carbon Materials Technology Group of
the ORNL Materials Science & Technology Division
is actively involved in the development of carbon-based materials
for high-tech applications in the nuclear (both fission and fusion)
and aerospace industries.
Examples
of some of these carbon materials are GraphNOL N3M, a high-strength
graphite developed for missile nose tips for the U.S. Navy, Carbon-Bonded
Carbon Fiber (CBCF), a light weight thermal insulator developed for
NASA; Carbon-carbon composite brake
and frictional materials; and Carbon Fiber Carbon Molecular Sieve
(CFCMS), a monolithic porous carbon material with high surface areas
used for the separation of gases and liquids on the molecular level.
