- Abstract
The carbon forms made from sucrose and microcapsules have successfully fabricated using gel-casting method. The structure, density, compressive strength and thermal conductivity were characterized. Carbon foams have porous structure of open cells and closed cells. The density of carbon foams is regulated in the range of 0.29-0.65 g/cm3, whereas the compressive strength is in the range of 1.03-20.25 MPa. The thermal conductivity at room temperature of carbon foams can be as low as 0.11 W/m·K. Therefore, these carbon foams have potential for use as the thermal insulator.
