Abstract
WE have prepared in this laboratory carbon composites reinforced with carbon fibres which have flexural strengths of 120,000 to 140,000 pounds per square inch at room temperature and 125,000 to 150,000 pounds per square inch at 1,500° C (in helium). The composites are reinforced unidirectionally with carbon fibres which make up 75–80 per cent of the total by weight. Densities range from 1.4 to 1.64 g/ml.
