- Abstract
- The PCPM activities in the microgravity programme have essentially focused on two research areas in which part of its researchers are heavily involved since the early eighties: carbon materials and polymer-matrix composites. The aim is to study the carbon plasma generated between two graphite electrodes under microgravity conditions and to investigate the effect of microgravity on the mechanisms of carbon black agglomeration in composites. After introducing the state of the art (§2.1), including the PCPM contribution to the subject (§2.2), we will first discuss in section 2 our activity related to carbon growth between the graphite electrodes in general (§2.2.1), then turn to the specific case of diamond (§2.2.2). We will then present the research we have carried out under microgravity conditions (§2.3) and discuss briefly the provisional results (§2.3.2), after describing the experimental setup (§2.3.1). In section 3 we will present our work in relation with the agglomeration of carbon particles under microgravity conditions (§3). Finally, in Appendix I, we give a brief outlook of the PCPM laboratory, and, in Appendix II we present a selection of papers related to carbon materials and their composites published by the team.
