Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a novel amorphous carbon-coated carbon fabric which comprises a single ply of a woven carbon fabric comprising interwoven strands of yarn. The yarn strands are formed of bundles of individual fibers and have amorphous carbon disposed between the individual fibers. The present invention also relates to a method of forming an amorphous carbon-coated carbon fabric. The method comprises the steps of (1) impregnating a woven carbon fabric with a resin; and (2) heating the resulting resin-impregnated carbon fabric to a temperature which is sufficient to char the resin to form a residue of amorphous carbon, thereby forming an amorphous carbon-coated carbon fabric material.
