The Effect of Fractional Composition on the Graphite Matrices' Porosity.

Synthetic graphite of complex fractional composition was mixed with phenolic resin as a binder and pore-forming component. The mixtures were pressed and subsequently heat-treated to obtain porous matrices. The structural transformations of phenolic resin by heating up to 900 °C in oxygen and inert gas media were studied and the patterns of amorphization of fixed carbon formed on the walls of the pore system during carbonization were investigated.

Tribological Properties of Nitrate Graphite Foils.

This study investigates the tribological properties of graphite foils (GF) with densities of 1.0, 1.3, and 1.

Genetics and Traumatic Brain Injury: Findings from an Exome-Based Study of a 50-Patient Case Series.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of global mortality and morbidity. Because TBI is accident-related, the role of genetics in predisposing to TBI has been largely unexplored. However, the likelihood of injury may not be entirely random and may be associated with certain physical and mental characteristics.

Anisotropy of Electrical and Thermal Conductivity in High-Density Graphite Foils.

Flexible graphite foils with varying thicknesses (S = 282 ± 5 μm, M = 494 ± 7 μm, L = 746 ± 8 μm) and an initial density of 0.70 g/cm were obtained using the nitrate method. The specific electrical and thermal conductivity of these foils were investigated.

The Influence of Machining Conditions on the Orientation of Nanocrystallites and Anisotropy of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Flexible Graphite Foils.

The physical and mechanical properties and structural condition of flexible graphite foils produced by processing natural graphite with nitric acid, hydrolysis, thermal expansion of graphite and subsequent rolling were studied. The processes of obtaining materials and changing their characteristics has been thoroughly described and demonstrated. The structural transformations of graphite in the manufacture of foils were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
