The above model has been successfully used to describe the thermomechanical behaviour of iron-particle reinforced resins. More precisely, the importance of this model is that it provides a quantitative means for assessing the adhesion efficiency between the phases and its effect on the thermomechanical properties of the composite. Moreover, by using this model the thermomechanical behaviour, as well as the extent of the mesophase developed in particulates could be described. The...

Since the viscosity increase in the later stages of carbonization influences mesophase development, any factor influencing the viscosity of the carbonizing system may affect mesophase development. The rate (16,17) and atmosphere (18) of carbonization are important factors. Coexisting substances are also influential even if they are not carbonized (19) The... 

Even prior to mesophase development, polynuclear aromatic compounds in pitch have a tendency for molecular association. This phenomenon, which results primarily from van der Waals interactions, has been observed from molecular weight (II) and electron paramagnetic resonance-electron nuclear double resonance (EPR-ENDOR) experiments (12).
