Abstract

A carbide dispersed in a matrix of impermeable carbon is prepared by mixing a phenolic resin with an element, e.g. U or Th, or with its oxide or a compound which decomposes on subsequent heating to give the oxide, e.g. acetate; heating to cure the resin, and further heating to carbonize the resin and form the carbide. Alternatively, the resin can be precured, mixed with the element or its compound, hot-pressed, and carbonized; or resin precursors may be mixed with the element or its compound, followed by polymerization, curing and carbonization as before. Resins used are of the phenol-aldehyde type, e.g. phenol-formaldehyde resol or novolak, or those obtained from cresols or xylenols by reaction with formaldehyde or furfuraldehyde. Carbonization is carried out in vacuo or in an inert or reducing atmosphere using the heating schedules as described in Specification 956,452.
