Abstract: |
A method for making expanded graphite from lamellar flake graphite comprising first providing lamellar flake graphite particles having at least a minimal purity, then intercalating the lamellar flake graphite particles with an expandable graphite intercalation compound, followed by expanding the graphite intercalation compound to exfoliate the flake graphite particles, and finally air milling the exfoliated flake graphite particles to further delaminate them.
L'invention concerne un procédé de production de graphite expansé à partir de graphite lamellaire, le procédé consistant tout d'abord à prendre des particules de graphite lamellaire présentant au moins une pureté minimale, puis à intercaler entre les particules de graphite lamellaire un composé d'intercalation de graphite pouvant être expansé; ensuite, on soumet le composé d'intercalation de graphite à une expansion pour exfolier les particules de graphite lamellaire, et enfin on soumet les particules de graphite lamellaire exfoliées à un broyage à l'air pour les délaminer d'avantage.

+ METHOD FOR EXPANDING LAMELLAR FORMS
OF GRAPHITE AND RESULTANT PRODUCT
+ BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Highly lamellar forms of graphite have found wide ranging industrial applicability because of their low thermal and electrical resistivity and their ability to enhance thermal and electrical conductivity when added to a low or non-conductive particulate (material). Specifically, when highly lamellar graphite is mixed with or dispersed in particulate which are non-conductive or partially electrically conductive, the thin platelets of graphite become interlaced between the base particles, thus providing a more conductive path and more uniform contact with the particles than could achieved using the same concentration of non- lamellar graphite.
+ Brief Description of the Drawing
