Objective
The aim of this project is to promote the use of coal-derived materials by producing from them suitable matrix precursors for carbon/carbon composites and by devising methods for their economic use.
To overcome the limitations of unmodified coal derivatives as matrix precursors, it is proposed to study a wide range of materials, e.g. :
- special pitches from coking test plant tars;
- tar distillation fractions;
- coal liquefaction/extraction pitches;
- standard coal tar pitches modified by filtration or selective solvent extraction.
Composites will be produced by two processes. The starting materials and products will be characterised to establish the link between precursor properties and the structure and quality of the resulting composites.
