The kinetics of changes in void size during annealing of glass-like carbons in the temperature range 1000°−2800 °C for times up to 150 h were studied using small-angle x-ray scattering determinations of the radius of gyration Rg. The results show that Rg ranged from 9 Å at 1000°C to about 24 Å at 2800 °C. A pore coarsening analysis and a superimposition kinetic analysis applied to Rg gave activation energies of 76 ± 4 kcal/mole and 74 ± 9 kcal/mole, respectively, which are associated with migration of vacancies within graphitic layers in the matrix material.
