Abstract
A method of manufacturing a carbon monolith the includes obtaining coal based pitch, melt blowing the coal based pitch into a plurality of carbon fibers forming a nonwoven fiber mat, and fusing the plurality of carbon fibers at contact points between the carbon fibers. The carbon monolith does not use a binder to bind the carbon fibers together.
Claims20
A method of manufacturing a carbon monolith comprising:
- obtaining coal based pitch;
- melt blowing the coal based pitch into a plurality of carbon fibers forming a nonwoven fiber mat;
- fusing the plurality of carbon fibers at contact points between the carbon fibers;
- and
- shaping the fused carbon fibers.
2 more elements
A carbon monolith comprising:
- a plurality of nonwoven fiber mats compressed together to form the carbon monolith, wherein each nonwoven fiber mat of the plurality of nonwoven fiber mats comprises a plurality of melt blown carbon fibers, and
- wherein the plurality of melt blown carbon fibers are fused together at contact points between adjacent melt blown carbon fibers.
A carbon monolith comprising:
- a plurality of nonwoven fiber mats compressed together to form the carbon monolith, wherein each nonwoven fiber mat of the plurality of nonwoven fiber mats consists of a plurality of melt blown carbon fibers, and
- wherein the plurality of melt blown carbon fibers are fused together at contact points between adjacent melt blown carbon fibers.
