Abstract: A porous electrode substrate has a form of a tape material and contains a structure made of carbon fibers and a carbon matrix. A specific surface area, porosity, and pore distribution are determined by the carbon matrix. The carbon matrix contains carbon particles including activated carbon with a high specific surface area and a carbonized or graphitized residue of a carbonizable or graphitizable binder.
Abstract: A method for concentrating an aqueous hydrogen halide starting solution, in particular hydrochloric acid, includes the steps of extractive distillation of the aqueous hydrogen halide starting solution in the presence of an extraction agent in a distillation device, removing hydrogen halide vapor and/or hydrogen halide gas from the upper portion of the distillation device, removing an extraction-agent-containing solution from the lower portion of the distillation device, concentrating the extraction-agent-containing solution which is removed from the lower portion of the distillation device in an evaporation device, and returning the extraction-agent-containing solution which is concentrated in the evaporation device to the distillation device, wherein the extraction-agent-containing solution removed from the lower portion of the distillation device is concentrated in the evaporation device by evaporation at a pressure which is greater than atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: A method for producing solidified fiber bundles includes applying a melt or solution to a carrier web forming a viscous coating, applying parallel filaments under tension to the carrier web, and pressing the filaments into the viscous coating, forming an impregnate. The coating is partially solidified until a plastically deformable state of the impregnate is obtained by vaporizing the solvent, thermal curing and/or cooling. The impregnate is rolled onto a winding core to form a roll while maintaining a winding tension of the filaments in the impregnate. The outer roll is fixed on the winding core by a sleeve and/or by adhesive tape. The impregnate is solidified by vaporizing the solvent, thermal curing and/or cooling. The solidified impregnate is divided up to form solidified fiber bundles. A pressure produced by the winding tension of the filaments in the impregnate is exerted on the roll.

Abstract: A process is provided for producing shaped bodies including carbon fiber reinforced carbon in which the fibers are present in the form of bundles having a defined length, width and thickness. The defined configuration of the fibers in the bundles allows a targeted configuration of the reinforcing fibers in the carbon matrix and thus a structure of the reinforcement which matches the stress of shaped bodies including carbon fiber reinforced carbon, for example brake disks.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a winding device (1) and a method for winding a frame (7) to produce a fiber material blank (18). For this, a frame (7) is clamped in a clamping device and put into rotation about a rotational axis (5) by a drive (3). According to the invention it is provided that fixing pins (6) are folded down during the passing of a thread (9) to be wound.

Abstract: A moldable mass contains graphite and a phase change material (PCM). The moldable mass further contains a binder and microcapsules having the PCM. A process produces a molding from the moldable mass, and the molding is used to produce various products such as cooling elements, battery temperature control elements, cooling elements for vehicle cabins, electronic components, and motors.
Abstract: A component made of a fiber composite material contains at least three wound layers made of a fiber material that are arranged one over the other. Each of the wound layers contains one or more windings. For each wound layer containing more than one winding, all windings of the wound layer have the same winding angle and are separated from each other in some sections, whereby intermediate spaces are formed between the windings. All windings of at least two of the wound layers have the same first winding angle. All of the windings of one wound layer, which is arranged between the two wound layers having the windings with a same first winding angle, have a second winding angle. The magnitudes of the first and second winding angles differ, and the windings having the second winding angle intersect with the windings having the first winding angle.
