Abstract
The invention relates to a composition suitable for the preparation of a carbon-containing material including: (i) a binder phase containing organic resin component or polymer composite; (ii) mesophase carbon; and (iii) optionally filler particles. The invention further relates to a method for preparing a carbon-containing material including the steps of: (a) mixing a binder phase containing an organic resin component or polymer composite with mesophase carbon and optionally filler particles; (b) curing the mixture; and (c) heating the cured mixture. The invention also provides an article which is wholly or partly manufactured from the carbon-containing material defined above.

A composition suitable for the preparation of a carbon-containing material including:
- (i) a binder phase including an optionally substituted phenolic resin;
- (ii) synthetic mesophase carbon derived from aromatic hydrocarbons;
- and
- (iii) inorganic filler particles suitable for use as refractory material for high temperature applications.
A method for preparing a carbon-containing material including the steps of:
- (a) mixing a binder phase containing an organic resin component or polymer composite with synthetic mesophase carbon derived from aromatic hydrocarbons and inorganic filler particles suitable for use as refractory material for high temperature applications;
- (b) curing the mixture;
- and
- (c) carbonizing the cured mixture to above 800° C.
A composition for the preparation of a carbon-containing material including:
- (i) a binder phase including a phenolic resin substituted with alkyl and/or imide;
- (ii) synthetic mesophase carbon derived from aromatic hydrocarbons;
- and
- (iii) inorganic filler particles suitable for use as refractory material for high temperature applications.
A method for preparing a carbon containing material including the steps of:
- (a) mixing a binder phase containing an organic resin component or polymer composite with synthetic mesophase carbon and inorganic particles suitable for use as refractory material for high temperature applications;
- (b) curing the mixture of the binder phase and mesophase carbon at temperatures up to about 205° C. under pressure;
- and
- (c) carbonizing the cured mixture to about 800° C.
