  • poor rheological and mechanical properties of the carbon precursor materials have limited the production and processing of carbon fibers into desirable shapes.
  • poor mechanical properties of the precursors or the resulting carbon fibers also limit the formation of suitable media for filtration applications.
  • Carbon is known for use in cigarette filter elements due to its ability to filter or remove constituents from mainstream smoke.
