Abstract: Partially expanded graphite flake having a specific volume of no more than about 50 cm3/g, more preferably, about 10-25 cm3/g has excellent sheet forming properties and is readily moldable to form molded products, such as gaskets. The partially expanded graphite flake may be produced by a low temperature process, in which the flakes are first intercalated with an intercalation solution, then subjected to a low temperature exfoliation of below about 500null C. In an alternative process, the flakes are intercalated with no more than about 40 pph of an intercalation solution (less if the particles are not subjected to a subsequent washing step) and then exfoliated at conventional exfoliation temperatures of about 800null C.

Abstract: Methods are provided for manufacturing bipolar graphite articles. First and second components are formed from flexible graphite material. The first component may have a protrusion formed thereon, and the second component may have a recess formed therein which is complementary to the protrusion of the first component. The first and second components are assembled so that the protrusion of the first component is received in the recess of the second component. Preferably, the components are made from uncured resin impregnated graphite material. The assembled components are then pressed together and heated to cure the resin so as to bond the components together. Alternatively the second component, or both the components, may have flat surfaces which engage the other component.
