'Carbon Graphite' Processing..?

'Carbon Graphite' Processing..?

'Carbon Graphite' Processing..?

(OP)
I've been lookin around to find the differences in Graphite and 'Carbon Graphite'.. the way carbon graphite is processed and its properties; but cud find none... can anybody pls help me in this!!!

RE: 'Carbon Graphite' Processing..?

If you are referring to carbon fibre as compared to graphite fibre the difference is the amount of graphite compared to carbon. All carbon fibre contains graphite. If I recall correctly, around 90%. Graphite fibre is close to 100% graphite. It is much more expensive than carbon fibre.

RE: 'Carbon Graphite' Processing..?

(OP)
Carbon fibre is totally different from carbon-graphite. They are two different commercially available products. As far as my knowledge goes, it is possible to combine Carbon and Graphite in their amorphous forms; which helps in coming up with a new material having combined properties of both. I could find a wesite ( http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=516 ) that talks about the carbon-graphite material. But I'm looking for more detailed info on this!!
Thanks for your reply rnd2.. hope to see more from all you guys.

RE: 'Carbon Graphite' Processing..?

It is not possible to chemically combine carbon and graphite.
There is amorphous carbon and graphite. Both are allotropes of carbon and have very different physical properties but the same chemical properties.
When "combined" they form a bonded composite material, not a new chemical compound.
