Material Notes:
Monolithic resorcinol formaldehyde (RF) nanofoams are primarily used as the precursor for carbon nanofoams or when an organic, electrically insulating material is desired. The standard RF nanofoam is offered as a high density material of 0.6 g/cm. Researchers wanting to control the pyrolysis conditions (atmosphere, temperature, time, etc.) during the processing of a carbon nanofoam can begin with RF nanofoam. Monolithic RF nanofoams are available as random pieces 0.2 to 2.0 cm in size. RF nanofoam sheets are formed by impregnating non-woven carbon paper with the RF gel. After processing, the resultant sheet is nominally 0.012" thick and has a density of 0.6 g/cm3. The overall sheet size is 3.5 x 10 cm.Data provided by the supplier, MarkeTech International.Silica and Carbon Aerogels are also listed in MatWeb.
