This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a rapid post-processing technique for carbon and graphitic nanocomposite foams via a catalytic approach. Our novel approach will greatly reduce the post-processing time. The mechanical properties of carbon and graphitic foams will be improved by the reinforcement of nanofibers. This Phase I project will research and demonstrate the proposed rapid post-processing and nanocomposite technique for microcellular carbon and graphitic foams with mesophase pitch as the starting material. Both the nanocomposite carbon and graphitic foams will be developed that possess insulating and conducting properties, respectively.Microcellular carbon and graphitic foams are expected to have many commercial applications including high temperature sandwich structures, energy absorbers, electrodes, purification and separation of gas and water, jet-engine rotors and stators, space structures, nozzle components in rocket engines, and hot structures. The proposed technique can also be used to manufacture other carbon-based materials like fibers, carbon/carbon composites, and hybrid composites, which have many structural applications.

该小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将通过催化方法开发碳和石墨纳米复合材料泡沫的快速后处理技术。我们的新方法将大大减少后处理时间。纳米纤维的增强将改善碳和石墨泡沫的力学性能。本项目第一阶段将研究和示范以中间相沥青为原料的微孔碳和石墨泡沫的快速后处理和纳米复合技术。碳纳米复合材料和石墨泡沫材料将分别具有绝缘和导电性能，它们将在高温夹层结构、能量吸收体、电极、气体和水的净化和分离、喷气发动机转子和定子、空间结构、火箭发动机喷嘴部件和热结构等方面具有广泛的应用前景。所提出的技术也可用于制造其他碳基材料，如纤维、碳/碳复合材料和混合复合材料，这些材料具有许多结构应用。
