10 Fundamentals of Carbon Blacks Mostly Carbon Graphitic crystallites or amorphous Defects, dislocations, and discontinuities at the edges of layer planes Variable amount of disorganized tetrahedrally bonded carbon can often be found cross-linking different layers. Total oxygen content usually less than 1% Phenols, ketones,, acids, etc. Hydrogen content ~ 0.2% The carbon surface is essentially inert to most organic reaction chemistry
