Carbon 43 (2005) 1617–1627 /locate/carbon Catalytic effect of nickel under carbonization of polyimide films Yuezhen Bin, Kumiko Oishi, Ai Koganemaru, Dan Zhu, Masaru Matsuo * Department of Textile and Apparel Science, Faculty of Human Life and Environment, Nara Women’s University, Nara 630-8263, Japan Received 6 July 2004; accepted 15 January 2005 Available online 19 March 2005 Abstract In attempt to produce graphite films with high crystallinity by heat-treatment at temperatures lower than 3000 C, the catalytic effect of nickel was investigated for carbonization of polyimide films prepared by mixing polyamic acid with nickel particles. The three-layered polyimide film was prepared to obtain graphite films with thickness beyond 100 lm. The middle layer composed of polyimide with nickel particles. The thickness of each layer was 50 lm and the film thickness became 150 lm. The carbonization was done at ca. 1600 C for 5 h. The morphology of the carbonized films was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The graph- itization degree was investigated on the basis of X-ray diffraction intensity distribution from the (002) plane. The analysis was done in terms of the comparison between the experimental and theoretical diffraction intensity curves. The theoretical calculation was carried out by using a concept for the para-crystalline theory proposed by Hoseman and Bagchi from the viewpoint of the lattice fluctuation of the c-axis. 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
