Carbon nanofibre composite material

摘要

A carbon fiber composite material including an elastomer and 15 to 50 vol% of carbon nanofibers dispersed in the elastomer. The elastomer includes an unsaturated bond or a group exhibiting affinity to the carbon nanofibers, and the carbon nanofibers has an average diameter of 0.7 to 15 nm and an average length of 0.5 to 100 micrometers. The carbon fiber composite material has an average coefficient of linear expansion of 100 ppm/K or less and a differential coefficient of linear expansion of less than 120 ppm/K at -80 to +300°C.
