Microstructural Observations of Pure Pyrolytic Carbons for Heart Valves

Near-isotropic pyrolytic carbon containing a small amount of co-deposited silicon carbide has been used for years as the materials from which prosthetic heart valves are fabricated [ 1 ]. Silicon carbide was introduced into this material to increase the hardness and thereby the wear resistance of the material. Silicon carbide, however, has poor thromboresistance relative to pyrolytic carbon, so...

Anodized Edge-plane Pyrolytic Graphite for Electroanalysis of Pantoprazole in Tablet Dosage Forms and Human Urine Samples

Electroanalytical parameters of different graphitic carbon-based electrode materials were compared to select the best one for the pantoprazole electroanalysis. Such parameters include sensitivity, repeatability, residual background current, and signal-tobackground current ratio of the analytical response and such electrodes include conventional carbon-based electrodes such as glassy carbon (GC)...

Thermal Conductivity of Carbon/Carbon Composites with the Fiber/Matrix Interface Modified by Silicon Carbide Nanofibers

Silicon carbide nanofibers grew on the surface of carbon fibers of a unidirectional carbon preform by CCVD and then chemical vapor infiltration was used to densify the preform to get the SiCNF-C/C composite. The effects of silicon carbide nanofibers on the microstructure of the pyrolytic carbon and the thermal conductivity of the SiCNF-C/C composite were investigated. Results show that silicon ...

The effect of modifying an edge-plane pyrolytic graphite electrode with single-wall carbon nanotubes on its use for sensing diclofenac

A simple and highly sensitive sensor based on edge-plane pyrolytic graphite electrode (EPPGE) coated with single-wall carbon nanotubes is proposed for diclofenac determination in nanomolar concentrations. The oxidation of diclofenac occurred in two well-defined peaks having peak potentials 439 and 854 mV at pH 7.2. The modified electrode showed excellent catalytic activity presenting much highe...
