Continuous graphite ribbon in filament wrapping and method of producing same.

摘要

The present invention relates to a packing material made from a continuous roll of graphite ribbon made from graphite foil. The ribbon is texturized to enhance its strength and makes it less brittle for twisting and flexing in an apparatus which compresses the strip at regular intervals along its length. A plurality of strands of graphite ribbon are overwrapped in a commercial overwrap machine with yarn, coated with a graphite or carbon suspension, and then dried. <IMAGE>
