Study of the Structures of Carbon Foams Synthesized Using Non-Ionic Surfactants

Non-ionic nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactants containing 4, 6, 9 or 12 ethylene oxide residues per mole of nonylphenol were successfully used as templates for the synthesis of large-pore mesoporous carbon foams. The effects of surfactant type, foam resin precursor (phenol/formaldehyde/ethanol), tempe...
