  • Patent number: 4568533
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of providing a flowable carbon material, in particular for filling hollow spaces for the purpose of heat-insulation. A method of that type is to be laid out in a manner such that it is possible to produce thereby distributable or flowable carbon materials, which are less contaminating, in particular, which develop less dust and may also be manipulated in a simpler manner, with the efforts from the standpoint of procedural technique involved to produce these products are to be, if at all, only insignificantly greater than the efforts required in regard to the above-mentioned products. To this end, it is suggested to impregnate with a binder material paper particles in platelet form having an average diameter of from 0.5 to 5 mm and an average thickness of from 0.01 to 1 mm and/or in strip form having an average length of from 5 to 30 mm, an average width of from 0.5 to 10 mm and an average thickness of from 0.01 to 1 mm, which include an ash content of from 0.

  • Patent number: 4555393
    Abstract: A continuous fiber composite having carbon microfibers dispersed in the resin filling the interstices between the continuous fibers to enhance the transverse properties of the composite. The carbon microfibers are made by soaking carbon fibers in an intercalating acid solution comprising a mixture of fuming nitric and sulfuric acid to weaken the intercrystallite bonds. Gentle stirring of solution separates the carbon microfibers from the host fibers. The microfibers are then separated from the intercalating acid solution and washed to remove the residual acid.
