    Abstract: A rolled graphite sheet includes a rod-shaped body and a graphite sheet having a length of 1 m or more and a width shorter than the length. The graphite sheet is wound around the rod-shaped body and is rolled in a length direction. When a length direction-end of the graphite sheet is pulled with a force of 1.5 N/cm in a direction parallel to a tangent of a cross-sectional circle of the rolled graphite sheet while fixing the rod-shaped body, the end moves 5 mm or less in the direction parallel to the tangent of the circle.

  • Patent number: 10377635
    Abstract: When a raw material graphite film bad in flatness is laminated onto another material, creases and other defects may be caused. In particular, when a graphite film having a large area is laminated, defects such as creases may be often caused. In order to solve such defects, a flatness correction treatment step is performed wherein a raw material graphite film is subjected to heat treatment up to 2000° C. or higher while a pressure is applied thereto. This flatness correction treatment gives a graphite film good in flatness. Furthermore, when the flatness of the raw material graphite film is corrected by use of a thermal expansion of a core, a graphite film small in sagging can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 9868639
    Abstract: There has been a problem that wrinkles easily occur on a carbonaceous film produced by the use of a continuous production method and on a graphite film obtained by heat-treating the carbonaceous film. In the present invention, heating treatment is carried out on a polymeric film while applying pressure to the polymeric film in the film thickness direction with the use of a continuous carbonization apparatus. This makes it possible to obtain a carbonaceous film and a graphite film in which wrinkling is reduced.

  • Patent number: 9682542
    Abstract: A graphite film showing an extremely low average tearing force is more likely to suffer from various kinds of defects, such as splitting, winding deviation, wrinkling, and poor dimensional accuracy, in a step of producing the graphite film and in a step of processing the graphite film. However, these defects can be prevented by using a graphite film that satisfies the following requirements: 1) having an average tearing force of not more than 0.08 N as determined by Trouser tear method in accordance with JIS K7128; and 2) having sag of not less than 5 mm and not greater than 80 mm as determined by a method of film windability evaluation in accordance with JIS C2151.
