Preferred Label : mesogenic pitch;
IUPAC definition : A pitch with a complex mixture of numerous essentially aromatic hydrocarbons. It does
not contain anisotropic particles detectable by optical microscopy. Mesogenic pitch
is low in quinoline-insoluble fractions and capable of transforming into mesophase
pitch during continuous heat treatment above 750 K by the formation of optically detectable
carbonaceous mesophase.;
