GENERAL CARBONICS CORPORATION
GS Carbon's General Carbonics division is a development stage company capitalized to
research, develop and commercialize technologies based upon novel carbonaceous composites
and other materials such as carbon aerogel and other nanocomposites.
Applications of carbon aerogel supported catalysts are include hydrogen powered stationary and
mobile PEM fuel cells, direct methanol fuel cells for portable electronic devices such as laptop
computers and cell phones, and applications for other metal oxide aerogel supported catalysts
include catalytic converters for gasoline and diesel powered vehicles and other internal
combustion engines.
Aerogels are solid-state substances similar to gels but where the liquid phase is replaced with
gas. Aerogels have a highly dendritic tree-like structure and rank among the world's lowest
density solids. They have a remarkably high surface area and are very porous and light. Their
microstructure and physical properties can be manipulated at the nanometer scale by selection of
raw material and modification of manufacturing conditions. Aerogel products can be engineered
to exhibit desired thermal, acoustic, mechanical and/or chemical properties. Aerogel materials
can be produced as monoliths, thin-films, powders, or micro-spheres to respond to given
application requirements.
