Robust thermally insulating carbon-gehlenite composite foams from newspaper waste and sucrose by filter-pressing

Carbon composite foams containing 13.6 to 41.8 wt% of gehlenite were obtained by carbonizing newspaper-sucrose composites prepared by filter-pressing of waste newspaper pulps in sucrose solution (0 to 700 g/L) followed by drying. The drying and carbonization shrinkages in the filter-pressing directi...
