(DE3545793-C)      Integral C article is mfd. from one or several graphite sheets, not more than 1 mm thick, with bulk density of 1.0-1.5 g/cm3 inserted between pieces of dense C material. The sheet material is flexible even when bent over 10mm bend radius. Pieces of C and i) moulded from C fibres and resin binder, calcined at not less than 800 deg. C to bulk density of not less than 1.01 g/cm3; ii) moulded from C fibres, particles, oxidised pitch particles and mixtures, with binder, calcined to density of not less than 1.3 g/cm3; iii) moulded from mixture of graphite or easily graphitisable particles with binder, calcined to density not less than 1.5 g/cm3. Pieces are bonded to the flexible sheets with phenol resin soln. and calcined at temp. not less than 800 deg. C to integrate the material into a fully carbonised body.    ADVANTAGE -   Excellent mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, without fractures or cracks. (8pp)    (US4777083-A)      Large integrated C article has a bulk density of more than 1.01 g/cc and a length of at least 100mm. In mfr. a flexible graphite sheet with specified physical properties is placed between pieces of carbonaceous material. The assembly is bonded together with adhesive and calcined at at least 800 deg.C. The linear contraction rate in calcining the bonded pieces of carbonaceous material at 2000 deg.C being not more than 3%. The carbonaceous material comprises (a) moulded C aggregate calcined at at least 800 deg.C and a binder and a bulk density of at least 1.01 g/cc after calcining at at least 800 deg.C, (b) C material of a moulded mixt- of C aggregate and binder calcined at at least 800 deg.C and a bulk density of at least 1.3g/cc or (c) graphitic material made from a moulded mixt. of graphite aggregate and/or graphitisable C and binder calcined at at least 2000 deg.C, with a bulk density of at least 1.5 g/cc.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   Useful as electrodes for fuel cells or electrolysers. Good mechanical strength and electrical specification are obtd. (8pp)m
