Polymers graphitization

Conductive Polymers Anodes currently available consist of a conductive-polymer graphite material coated on to a multistrand copper conductor. The polymer provides an active surface but shields the conductor from chemical attack. A non-conductive outer braid may be used to give abrasion resistance and avoid direct contact with the cathode. The finished anode has the appearance of an electric cable and is claimed to have applications for buried/immersed structures and for internal protection of tanks, etc. Anode current densities are typically given as 14-30mAm ... 

Using synthesized diallylsilazanes modification of the properties of some important industrial polymer composites based on phenolformaldehide resins has been carried out. Preliminary investigations showed that synthesized polymers in combination with phenolformaldehyde resins were successfully used as binding-components for polymer/graphite and polymer/carbon black electro-conducting composites. 

Besides the aforementioned, preliminary investigations showed that synthesized oligomers and polymers, in combination with phenolformaldehyde resin, were successfully used as binding component for polymer/graphite electro-conducting composites (ECC) [15, 16], Obtained ECC were recommended for creation of electrode material for electrolytic section and the chemical (fuel) sources of electrical energy (on the basis of analogous material) [16],...

An all carbon conjugated ladder polymer (graphite ribbon) was synthesized by a novel electrophile-induced cyclization reaction to provide fused benzenoid aromatic hydrocarbon in quantitative yield [161]. Suzuki cross-coupling of dieneyne 105 with 1,4-didode-cylbenzene-2,5-diboronic acid (106) gave rigid-rod polymers 107, which was further treated with TFA to produce 108 graphite ribbon as a yellow/orange solid. 

Matrix nature silica gel, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, polymer, graphite etc. 

These distinctions are very small and unfortunately may be undetectable for mixed (polymer/graphite) systems. This has led to the development of auxiliary detection methods based on the ESCA generation of valence bands and loss spectra. These procedures for the distinction of hydrocarbons are similar to those described in the preceding for graphite [36,38].

In 1934, Ruff and Brettschneider synthesized the first oK-fiuorinated polymer, graphite fluoride, (CFj ) , by fluorination of norite (Scheme 2.2) and investigated its thermal stability and decomposition mechanisms [30]. 

In contrast to any of the other fluorinated polymers, graphite fluoride does not melt or soften before its decomposition, which occurs slowly at temperatures above 300°C (see DSC diagram in Figure 3.6). However, the onset of thermal... 

Mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of polymer/graphite/graphene nanocomposites are described in this section. 

The ultimate carbon rich polymer, with only carbon atoms as the constitutional repeat unit, is often referred to as carbyne. Being an allotrope of carbon, the onedimensional polymer carbyne is analogous to the two-dimensional polymer graphite and the three-dimensional polymer diamond. In contrast to graphite and diamond, there is no general agreement on a material that is carbyne and it remains a controversial as well as confusing topic in the literature [1].
