WRI Mesophase Research
The Western Research Institute (WRI) is pioneering mesophase pitch research utilizing different feedstocks in our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. Mesophase pitch is a crucial precursor for mid- and high-performance carbon fiber, highly conductive carbon foam, electrodes, and other advanced carbon materials. These materials are essential for a diverse array of applications such as structural components for aerospace to anode material for energy storage. WRI partners with industry to transform aromatic residues into high-value carbon materials, enabling scalable, sustainable solutions for the next generation of carbon technologies. See how we're leading the way to a more sustainable materials future!
