Contract: AF 33(657)-11297
DoD Project: 7350
DoD Task: 735002
Identifier: AD0608764
Abstract:
A continuous process has been developed to coat the individual filaments of graphite yarn with pyrolytic graphite. The pyrolytic coating increased the strengthto-weight ratio of the filaments by a factor of 1.3 and acted as a sizing on the yarn to make weaving easier. Tapes woven from the coated yarn showed a load distribution factor as high as 0.9. On the basis of these studies, suggestions for extensions of this work are made.
