Adding a little NG to LPG as carbon source significantly improves the densification, mechanical and tribological behaviors of C/C composites

Puntos clave

• Improved densification and mechanical behaviors are achieved by incorporating natural gas with liquefied petroleum gas.
• The study shows that the addition of 10% natural gas impacts the overall performance of the composites significantly.
• Analysis of carbon composite performance with varying carbon sources reveals critical insights for material scientists.
• These findings support the potential for enhanced application of C/C composites in industrial settings.
