Title:

Activated Carbon Fibers

Case # 268
Inventors: Danny Edie and Yulia Basova
Summary: Porous carbon fibers designed to adsorb specific molecules. The precursor is inexpensive and the porosity is more uniform than that of conventional activated fibers. The fibers have enhanced total surface area and they are highly selective. The result is a potentially inexpensive activated carbon fiber that should be ideal for applications such as gas storage and adsorbing toxins from the environment.
Applications: Removal of environmental toxins, removal of pesticides, biological separations, protein separation, and gas storage.
