Abstract
A fourth allotrope of carbon, an acetylenic carbon allotrope, is described. The acetylenic carbon allotropes of the present invention are more soluble than the other known carbon allotropes in many common organic solvents and possesses other desirable characteristics, e.g. high electron density, ability to burn cleanly, and electrical conductive properties. Many uses for this fourth allotrope are described herein.
Claims21
An acetylenic carbon fiber, comprising:
- chains of linearly arranged carbon atoms forming an acetylenic carbon fiber.
A method for preparing an endcapped acetylenic carbon allotrope, comprising:
- providing a carbon source and source of end groups;
- and
- vaporizing the carbon source in the presence of the source of end groups such that an endcapped acetylenic carbon allotrope is formed.
A method for preparing an endcapped acetylenic carbon allotrope, comprising:
- selecting an end group for its ability to block hydrogen transfer interchain within a carbon chain;
- and
- vaporizing a carbon source in the presence of the selected end group such that an endcapped acetylenic carbon allotrope is formed.
