Abstract:
Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction
(XRD) were used to analyze the pyrolysis of pitch, furan, phenolic
aldehyde and epoxy binders. Their micro-structures after
carbonization were also studied. The relationship between alkali
metal penetration resistance of binders, their pyrolysis activation
energy (Ea) and micro-structure after carbonization was
investigated. The results show that for binders containing
turbo stratic graphite or a transitional structure between
turbostratic graphite and graphite, the higher the degree of
graphitization the better the penetration resistance of the binder.
When the binder micro-structure is in a transitional stage from
amorphous or other non-graphitic structures to turbostratic
graphite, the penetration resistance of the binders deteriorates. For
these microstructures, the higher the Ea, the better the penetration
resistance. The ÅË of pitch, furan, phenolic aldehyde and epoxy
are 47.20 kJ/mol, 93.11 kJ/mol, 178.11 kJ/mol and 780.32 kJ/mol
respectively.
