Vapor-grown and graphitized carbon fibers, process for preparing same, molded members thereof, and composite members thereof

Abstract From the Canadian patent

There are disclosed vapor-grown and graphitized carbon fibers capable of forming composite materials having the vapor-grown and graphitized carbon fibers Contained at a high packing density and forming molded members consisting substantially solely of the vapor-grown and graphitized carbon fibers a process for, the preparation of the vapor-grown and graphitized carbon fibers, the molded member, and the composite member. The vapor-grown and graphitized carbon fibers have a mean fiber diameter of 5 µm or smaller a, mean fiber length of 90 µm or shorter a mean aspect, ratio of frame 1 to 18, and a spin density of 8 x 10 1a spins/g or less, when measured by the electron spin resonance …
