  • Graphite fibril material
    Publication number: 20070003473
    Abstract: A graphite fibril material comprised primarily of an aggregate of an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 100 ?m in which-fibrils are intertwined, the fibrils being graphite fibrils of a fiber diameter of 0.0035 to 0.075 ?m and spacing of the carbon hexagonal net plane as determined by the X-ray diffraction method of 3.36 to 3.53 angstroms. It is of high crystallinity and purity and is of superior conductivity, chemical stability, solvent absorption capacity and reinforcing capacity.
