The use of the term carbon without a second noun or a clarifying adjective should be restricted to the chemical element carbon. The term carbon can be used in combination with other nouns or clarifying adjectives for special types of carbon materials (carbon electrode, carbon fibres, pyrolytic carbon, glass-like carbon and others)."},"links":[{"term":"carbon","url":"https:\/\/goldbook.iupac.org\/\/terms\/view\/C00821"},{"term":"carbon electrode","url":"https:\/\/goldbook.iupac.org\/\/terms\/view\/C00829"},{"term":"carbon fibres","url":"https:\/\/goldbook.iupac.org\/\/terms\/view\/C00831"},{"term":"chemical element","url":"https:\/\/goldbook.iupac.org\/\/terms\/view\/C01022"},{"term":"glass-like carbon","url":"https:\/\/goldbook.iupac.org\/\/terms\/view\/G02639"},{"term":"non-graphitic carbon","url":"https:\/\/goldbook.iupac.org\/\/terms\/view\/N04193"},{"term":"pyrolytic carbon","url":"https:\/\/goldbook.iupac.org\/\/terms\/view\/P04963"}],"sources":["PAC, 1995, 67, 473.
