Abstract:
A layer composite for a seal includes a planar substrate layer, e.g. a graphite foil layer, and a two-dimensionally contiguous polytetrafluoroethylene cover layer which adheres to a surface of the substrate layer. The polytetrafluoroethylene cover layer contains less than 200 g/m2 of polytetrafluoroethylene. A seal and a method for manufacturing a layer composite are also provided.
Abstract:
A method produces activated carbon, suitable in particular for use in double-layer condensers. The method includes a) producing a mixture of a preferably pulverulent carbon material, a base and a hydrophilic polymer chemically inert to the base, b) pressing the mixture produced in step a) to form a pressing and c) activating the pressed body produced in step b).
Abstract:
An activated, porous carbon has a specific BET surface area of between 1400 and 1900 m2/g, with at least 80% of all of the pores, and preferably all of the pores, of the carbon having an average diameter of between 0.3 and 0.9 nm. The novel carbon is particularly suitable for use as an electrode in a double-layer capacitor. The carbon is obtained by a process that includes the following steps: a) producing a mixture of a green coke, a base, and a hydrophilic polymer which is chemically inert towards the base, b) pressing the mixture produced in step a), to form a compact, and c) activating the compact produced in step b).
