Thermal and optical studies of carbons obtained from hexane by pyrolysis

Abstract

Pyrolysis of hexane ha9 been carried out to examine whether it is possible to carbonise and ultimately to graphitize. Observation for isotropism or anisotropism has been made on the microstructures of carbons produced from hexane,usinf, polarized~ light microscopy •.Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and Thermo_ gravimetric anelysis (TGA) have been employed to ascertain the graphitizability of hexane
