Carbon has been known since prehistoric times. Carbon occurs naturally in two allotropic forms, namely graphite and diamond; the discovery in 1985 of fullerenes has increased the number of allotropic forms of this element. Its abundance in the Earth's crust is 480 ppm. The study of carbon and its organic compounds is the basis of organic chemistry. The applications for carbon are many and include its use as an alloying element with iron in the manufacture of steel, its use as brushes in electrical generators and motors, the use of colloidal graphite or carbon to coat surfaces (e.g. glass), in electrical assemblies to absorb microwaves and inhibit photoelectrons and secondary electrons, and the use of high purity carbon (graphite) in nuclear reactors to moderate neutrons. Diamond has unique properties, being one of the hardest materials known and with excellent corrosion resistance and thermal transfer. Industrial diamond is used in rock drilling equipment and abrasive materials. CVD diamond has been the subject of extensive research and development over the past several years and applications for this material are only just being realised. Carbon is a fundamental part of all life, it being a prime constituent of DNA. On average, the human body contains approximately 16kg of carbon in one form or another.
Foglio - Sottili fogli di metallo puro e leghe metalliche. A causa della loro fragilità, alcuni fogli sono rivestiti su un lato con un sostegno in acrilico o poliestere. La parte in cui i fogli sono sostenuti è indicata nella descrizione dettagliata dell'elemento.
Per le pellicole di spessore uguale o inferiore a 0,05 mm offriamo 2 opzioni: pellicole testate a prova di luce (indicate come LT a catalogo) o pellicole standard non testate (indicate come Dimensioni).
Per le pellicole di spessore superiore a 0,05 mm il test a prova di luce non e’ richiesto, dato che le pellicole diventano naturalmente piu’ dense ed efficaci nel prevenire il passaggio della luce.
