Summary:

Carbon black is a material produced by the incomplete combustion of heavy petroleum products. It is used as a pigment and reinforcement in rubber and plastic products. This book examines the production, properties and uses of carbon black. Topics discussed include carbon blacks in electrochemical energy conversion devices; application of carbon black vulcan XC-72R in polymeric electrolyte fuel cells; heat transfer and growth of primary black carbon particles in gas mixture; and health risks of carbon nanomaterials.
