Assignee: LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION
Field: Materials, metallurgy (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC C  H | IPC C  H

Claim 10:
11. An apparatus, comprising:
a polyorbital-hybrid ceramic carbon comprising:
an SP1 carbon;
an SP2 carbon; and
an SP3 carbon;

wherein the content of SP2 carbon in the polyorbital-hybrid ceramic carbon ranges from 2% to 15%, relative to the total content of SP′, SP2, and SP3 carbon,
wherein the SP1 carbon, the SP2 carbon, and the SP3 carbon are derived from a mixed feedstock of at least three halogenated monomer feedstocks, such that a first of the at least three halogenated monomer feedstocks includes the SP3 carbon, a second of the at least three halogenated monomer feedstocks includes the SP2 carbon, and a third of the at least three halogenated monomer feedstocks includes the SP1 carbon; and
wherein the polyorbital-hybrid ceramic carbon is derived from a thermalization of a polyorbital-hybrid pre-ceramic polymer comprising the SP1 carbon, the SP2 carbon, and the SP3 carbon, wherein the polyorbital-hybrid pre-ceramic polymer is derived from a reduction of the mixed feedstock so that one or more halogen atoms are removed from the mixed feedstock.
