Abstract
Abstract Non-permeable carbonized formed bodies consisting of carbonaceous material containing 5-50 wt % of graphite and the balance of glassy carbon formed by bake-carbonization of a thermosetting resin, and a method for producing such non-permeable carbonized formed bodies comprising mixing and kneading a thermosetting resin powder, thermosetting resin liquid and graphite powder, drying, hardening and bake-carbonizing the resultant body is disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
26 words
Non-permeable carbonized formed bodies consisting of carbonaceous material containing 5-50 wt% of graphite and the balance of glassy carbon formed by bake-carbonization of a thermosetting resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
26 words
Non-permeable carbonized formed bodies consisting of carbonaceous material containing 5-50 wt% of graphite and the balance of glassy carbon formed by bake-carbonization of a thermosetting resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
Non-permeable carbonized formed bodies as set forth in claim 1, wherein the composition of said non-permeable carbonized formed bodies is adjusted to have a specific gravity of y≧0.004x+1.235 where x is a weight ratio (%) of graphite/carbonaceous material of said formed bodies, and to have a gas permeability smaller than 10 -4 cc/min.cm 2 .atm per unit thickness in mm.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
78 words
A method for producing non-permeable carbonized formed bodies, comprising: mixing and kneading a thermosetting resin powder, graphite powder and a thermosetting resin liquid in such proportions that the resulting forming composition will produce upon bake-carbonization a carbonaceous structure containing 5-50 wt% of graphite and the balance of glassy carbon formed by carbonization of said thermosetting resins; forming said composition into a predetermined shape; after drying and hardening treatments, subjecting said formed bodies to bake-carbonization in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
78 words
A method for producing non-permeable carbonized formed bodies, comprising: mixing and kneading a thermosetting resin powder, graphite powder and a thermosetting resin liquid in such proportions that the resulting forming composition will produce upon bake-carbonization a carbonaceous structure containing 5-50 wt% of graphite and the balance of glassy carbon formed by carbonization of said thermosetting resins; forming said composition into a predetermined shape; after drying and hardening treatments, subjecting said formed bodies to bake-carbonization in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method as set forth in claim 3, wherein said thermosetting resin powder has an average particle size smaller than 50 microns and said graphite powder has an average particle size smaller than 1/2 of that of said thermosetting resin powder.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method as set forth in claim 3, wherein the temperature of said bake-carbonization is in the range of 800° C.-2000° C.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method as set forth in claim 3, wherein said forming composition is optionally added with an organic tackifier to be decomposed and evaporated during said bake-carbonization.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim

The method as set forth in claim 3, wherein the composition of said non-permeable carbonized formed bodies is adjusted to have a specific gravity of y≧0.004x+1.235 where x is a weight ratio (%) of graphite/carbonaceous material of said formed bodies, and to have a gas permeability smaller than 10 -4 cc/min.cm 2 .atm per unit thickness in mm.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
The method as set forth in claim 3, wherein said molding composition is extruded into a flat shape, rolled, dried and hardened, followed by bake-carbonization of the resulting hardened formed bodies in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method as set forth in claim 8, wherein the formed composition is rolled at least two times with a reduction rate greater than 1/5 in each rolling operation.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method as set forth in claim 9, wherein said formed composition is rolled in a direction perpendicular to a direction extrusion at least in one rolling operation.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
51 words
The method as set forth in claim 3, wherein said forming composition consisting of said thermosetting resin powder, graphite powder and thermosetting resin liquid is formed body to shape, dried and hardened, and the resulting hardened formed bodies are impregnated with a thermosetting resin prior to bake-carbonization in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
