Preferred Label : spherical carbonaceous mesophase;
IUPAC definition : A term which describes the morphology of carbonaceous mesophase which is formed in
the isotropic pitch matrix. The spherical carbonaceous mesophase usually has a lamellar
structure consisting of flat aromatic molecules arranged in parallel layers which
are perpendicular to the sphere/isotropic phase interface. On coalescence, this spherical
mesophase loses its characteristic morphology and is converted to the bulk mesophase.;
