Abstract
ALMOST all the extensive work done on the formation of pyrolytic carbon films has consisted of the decomposition of a hydrocarbon on non-metallic substrates like porcelain or artificial graphite. Work is in progress in our laboratory investigating the kinetics and mechanism of carbon film formation on glazed porcelain from carbon suboxide (C3O2)1. In the course of this work, it was of interest to look briefly, initially, at the effect of some different substrates on the qualitative rate of carbon formation and more particularly on the nature of the film formed.
