The interaction of boron trifluoride (BF,) with activated charcoal cloth, and BF3 initiated polymerisation of isobutene in micropores, has been studied. A thermally stable polymer could be deposited in the pores at fairly high loadings (at least up to 30%) without causing significant blockage of the

โฆ Synopsis
A series of microporous charcoal cloths of burn-offs between 20 and 92% have been prepared and studied by means of nitrogen, isobutene, methanol, and water adsorption isotherm measurements. The results indicate that at a level of burn-off of about 50%, the polarity of the surface fails to a minimum while the micropore volume, when expressed in terms of the same initial weight of carbon, reaches a maximum. At higher levels of burn-off both pore widening and pore narrowing occur. In addition, significant shrinkage of the carbon structure occurs at all stages of burn-off. The results are discussed in terms of a simple model, and it is concluded that densification of the carbon structure during activation exerts a significant influence on the evolution of the micropore structure.
