Less toxic substitute for Hydrazine?
« on: February 07, 2025, 04:12:24 PM »
Hello!

I found a really cool paper which describes how to make a low density carbon foam with a fairly simple process.  I would like to look into producing the material but it uses Hydrazine to simultaneously reduce the material and produce the gas for the foam.

If I may ask, do you know of anything that is less toxic than hydrazine hydrate that could fulfill this role?  I'm pretty nervous about working with hydrazine.

What kind of paper you talking about. Foam can be made by using of CO2, O2, N2, etc. as propellent.
