MSE PRO Glassy (Vitreous) Carbon substrate, 25 mm x 25 mm

Glassy carbon, also called vitreous carbon, is an advanced material of pure carbon combining glassy and ceramic properties with these of graphite. Unlike graphite, glassy carbon has a fullerene-related microstructure. This leads to a great variety of unique material properties.

Glassy carbon is characterized by the following properties:

• High temperature resistance
• High purity
• Extreme corrosion resistance
• Impermeability to gas and liquids, no open porosity
• No wetting by melts
• High hardness and strength
• Low density
• High surface quality, no particle generation
• Low thermal expansion
• Extreme resistance to thermal shock
• Isotropy of physical and chemical properties
• Good electrical conductivity
• Biocompatibility
