(US5885728-A)      NOVELTY - Composite is a single unitary resin impregnated flexible graphite sheet having opposite planar outer surfaces with an embedded dispersion of needle-shaped ceramic fiber particles. These are non-reactive with flexible graphite and stable up to 2000 deg.F. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The ceramic fiber particles extend into the graphite sheet from the outer surfaces to provide channels for resin. One of the outer surfaces has a continuous fluid flow channel to receive or exhaust a fluid fuel or oxidant. TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Composite has intercalated natural graphite flakes mixed and blended with 1.5-30 per cent by wt. needle-shaped ceramic fiber particles 0.15-1.5mm long and 0.04-0.004mm wide of e.g. macerated quartz glass, zirconia, boron nitride, calcium metasilicate, aluminium oxide etc.    USE -   Composite is made up of flexible graphite and needle-shaped ceramic particles for making gaskets and flow field plates for use in fuel cells. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - (1200) fluid flow channel; (601,603) electrode-membrane interfaces; (600) platinum catalyst; (1100) flow field plates; (1400) grooves .
