Abstract: A multi-layered carbon ceramic brake disk has at least one carrier body, and at least one ventilation layer that containing ventilation ducts, and optionally, at least one friction layer. The brake disk is made by joining green bodies of at least one individual carrier body, green bodies of at least one individual ventilation layer, and optionally, green bodies of at least one individual friction layer. The green bodies contain thermoplastic or thermoset polymeric materials, in their solid or cured states, and by subsequent carbonization and ceramicization by infiltration with carbide-forming elements.

Abstract: An adhesive-treated porous separator and a method of adhering an electrode to the adhesive-treated separator without substantially occluding the pores of the separator. The adhesive-treated separator membrane comprises a porous separator having an anode side and a cathode side, a first adhesive formulation coated on the anode side, and a second adhesive formulation coated on the cathode side. The first and second adhesive formulations each include an adhesive component, a solvent, and an occlusion prevention component.
