PRINTEDINTHEUNITEDSTATESOFAMERICA In Polymer Precursor-Derived Carbon; Hoffman, et al.; Foreword The ACS Symposium Series was first published in 1974 to provide a mechanism for publishing symposia quickly in book form. The purpose of the series is to publish timely, comprehensive books developed from the ACS sponsoredsymposiabasedoncurrentscientificresearch. Occasionally,booksare developed from symposia sponsored by other organizations when the topic is of keeninteresttothechemistryaudience. Beforeagreeingtopublishabook,theproposedtableofcontentsisreviewed forappropriateandcomprehensivecoverageandforinteresttotheaudience. Some papersmaybeexcludedtobetterfocusthebook;othersmaybeaddedtoprovide comprehensiveness. When appropriate, overview or introductory chapters are added. Draftsofchaptersarepeer-reviewedpriortofinalacceptanceorrejection, andmanuscriptsarepreparedincamera-readyformat. As a rule, only original research papers and original review papers are included in the volumes. Verbatim reproductions of previous published papers arenotaccepted. ACSBooksDepartment In Polymer Precursor-Derived Carbon; Hoffman, et al.; Preface Carbon is essential to life on Earth, and it forms complex molecules with oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen that are ubiquitous in the biosphere. Elemental carbon has been valued for thousands of years for its use in processing metal ores. The variety of carbon allotropes as well as the vast variety of carbon’s architectures, and forms is made possible by its ability to form sp, sp2, and sp3 electronic orbitals through hybridization. These various architectures and formscanencompassaverybroadspectrumofproperties,which,inturnenable a myriad of applications. Traditional methods for synthesizing carbon-based materials include catalytic vapor growth, hydrothermal processing of colloids, chemical vapor deposition, as well as pyrolysis of precursors, such as fibers, bulk monoliths, fuels, and fuel derivatives. Some of these methods follow a combinatorial optimization approach, which does not necessarily enable the desiredcontrolofcarbonarchitecture. Thescienceofcontrollingcarbonstructure with predefined geometries and controlled levels of long-range order from atypicalchar-formingprecursorshasyettobeestablished. Over the last two decades there have been significant improvements in synthesis routes of carbon materials, analytical tools for characterization, and in the properties of carbon materials. Monolithic or continuous matrix carbon productsarecommerciallyproducedfrompolymericandpitchcarbonprecursors. Specialty carbon materials are used for energy applications and reduction in carbonemission,membraneseparation,energystorage,catalysis,solarutilization, electronics, and sensing.

The dynamics of low-molecular weight amphiphiles are combined with the stability of their high-molecular weight analogues in order to control the self-assembly of these molecules. Two concepts for structuring carbon by self-assembly are presented. Inthefirst,hexaphenylbenzene-polyethyleneglycol (HPB-PEG)derivativesleadtofiber-likestructuresinaqueous solution. ThewatercontentinthehydrogelfibersofHPB-PEG derivatives can be controlled by the substitution pattern of the amphiphile and by the length of the PEG chains.
