Carbon Foam
Carbon foam, also known as reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) foam, is a stiff, porous structure formed from a web of carbon atoms. It has attracted increasing attention from academic communities and industry because of its unique 3D porous structure and excellent performance, such as low density with high mechanical strength, high electrical conductivity, tailorable thermal conductivities, high adsorption, electromagnetic shielding, ablation resistance, and large surface area. Carbon foam is an enabling technology for a host of next-generation material systems and components. It can be used as the core material in a structural composite that makes ships more fireproof, as a firewall in airplanes and as energy absorbing structural components in automobiles. The foam material performs well in a marine environment.
