Abstract
Flexible graphite sheet having embedded ceramic fibers extending from its surfaces into the sheet to increase the permeability of the sheet to resin.
Claims6
A flexible graphite sheet having opposite planar outer surfaces, said flexible graphite sheet having embedded therein a dispersion of a plurality of needle-shaped ceramic fiber particles which are non-reactive with flexible graphite and stable at temperatures up to 2500.degree. F. in an amount of about 1.5 to 30% by weight, said needle-shaped ceramic fiber particles extending into said graphite sheet from at least one of said planar outer surfaces to increase the permeability of the graphite sheet to a liquid resin solution.
