The often used synonyms “Glassy Carbon” and “Vitreous Carbon” have been introduced as trademarks and should not be used as terms. From a scientific viewpoint, all synonymous terms suggest a similarity with the structure of silicate glasses, which does not exist in GLASS‐LIKE CARBON, except for the pseudo‐glassy appearance of the surface.

GLASS‐LIKE CARBON cannot be described as AMORPHOUS CARBON because it consists of two‐dimensional structural elements and does not exhibit “dangling” bonds.
