  • Publication number: 20220298677
    Abstract: A carbon fiber wherein an average fiber diameter of a single fiber is in a range of 3 to 10 ?m, and an average value of an intensity ratio (D/G) of a D peak to a G peak in a Raman spectrum in a cross section perpendicular to a fiber axis direction of the single fiber is 0.90 or less in a region inside a circle having a diameter of 1 ?m and centered at a center of gravity of the cross section of the single fiber, and is 0.90 or less in a region up to 1 ?m inside from an outer periphery of the cross section of the single fiber, wherein the D peak is observed at around 1360 cm?1 and derived from a defect in a graphite structure and the G peak is observed at around 1590 cm?1 and derived from the graphite structure.

  • Patent number: 7781528
    Abstract: A power transmission belt having a body with a length, an inside, an outside, and laterally spaced side surfaces. The body has a first rubber composition that includes an organic peroxide used as a cross-linking agent and N,N?-m-phenylenedimaleimide and/or quinone dioxime in an amount of 0.5 to 13 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of rubber components. The rubber components include (a) ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer and/or an ethylene-?,?-unsaturated carboxylate copolymer, and (b) an ethylene ?-olefin rubber in a ratio of from 5:95 to 100:0 by weight.
