  • Patent number: 6702965
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a porous composite product. The process steps are forming a homogeneous mixture having one or more insoluble polymers, one or more soluble or calcinable polymers and one or more fillers, in particular with a high specific surface; extruding the mixture to form an extruded precursor product; removing the soluble or calcinable polymer or polymers from the extruded precursor product, in order to form pores, and recovering the porous composite product.

  • Patent number: 6671166
    Abstract: The invention concerns a high power capacitor ideally polarizable consisting of a positive electrode (2) and its current collector (4), a negative electrode (3) and its current collector (5), said electrodes comprising a carbon containing material with high specific surface area, a separator (6) and a non-aqueous liquid electrolyte impregnating said separator and said electrodes. The invention is characterised in that the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte is an organic solution of a sodium or potassium or alkalin-earth metal salt, on their own or mixed in a solvent containing an acid.

  • Publication number: 20030157314
    Abstract: The invention concerns a porous composite product in particular with high specific surface area, characterised in that it is formed of a polymeric material and at least 20% of one or several fillers, and in that the product is obtainable by extrusion. The invention also concerns a method for preparing a porous composite product characterised in that it consists in: a) forming a mixture containing one or several insoluble polymers, one or several soluble or calcinable polymers, one or several fillers; b) extruding said mixture for forming an extruded precursor product; c) eliminating the soluble or calcinable polymer(s) of the extruded precursor product; recuperating the porous composite product. The invention also concerns all extruded object consisting of a porous composite product in particular with high specific area. Finally it concerns an electrode formed of a film of porous composite product.

  • Publication number: 20020136887
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a pourous composite product. The process steps are forming a homogeneous mixture having one or more insoluble polymers, one or more soluble or calcinable polymers and one or more fillers, in particular with a high specific surface; extruding the mixture to form an extruded precursor product; removing the soluble or calcinable polymer or polymers from the extruded precursor product, in order to form pores, and recovering the pourous composite product.
