Carborane Dopant Strengthens Pitch Char

Addition of small amount of soluble, organic boron compound to matrix precursor of carbon-fiber/carbon-matrix (carbon/carbon) composite increases strength and toughness of composite. Compound catalyzes graphitization of matrix, giving rise to greater degree of graphitization at lower processing temperature. Technique used to advantage in carbon/carbon materials requiring lower temperature processing, such as those with inhibited matrices or materials sensitive to changes in fiber properties.
