Abstract
Fine-mesh warp-knit fabrics of noble metal-containing wires with high specific surface areas, having good mechanical stability, are produced by warp-knitting noble metal-containing wires to form closed stitches, such that the warp-knit fabric has at least 14 stitches per inch, and such that in at least one of the knit weaves forming the warp-knit fabric, the noble metal-containing wires are laid down over at least three stitch spacings.
Claims11
Warp-knit fabric formed by knit loops of noble metal-containing wires which are warp-knit to form closed stitches which are laterally spaced by a stitch spacing (d), the warp-knit fabric having at least 14 stitches per inch, and in at least one of the knit loops forming the warp-knit fabric, the noble metal-containing wires are laid down over at least three stitch spacings (d).
Method for mechanized production of gas-permeable, warp-knit lattices formed by knit loops of noble metal-containing wires comprising,
- warp knitting the noble metal-containing wires using a warp knitting loom having needles spaced apart by a needle gauge interval (d) which is set to produce a warp-knit fabric with at least 14 stitches per inch, forming closed stitches, and
- laying down the noble metal-containing wires over at least three needle gauge intervals (d) in at least one of the knit loops.
