Abstract:
A carbon nanotube orientated composite formed by orientating carbon nanotubes in a given direction in a matrix having a heat conductivity lower than that of carbon nanotube, in which at least a part of carbon nanotubes are contacted with each other to be continuous from one end to the other end between both ends in the orientated direction, is provided as a material having a heat conductivity considerably higher than that of copper, aluminum or the like or a material to be disposed in rubber material having a low heat releasing characteristic to considerably improve the heat conduction, and also there are provided a method of producing the same as well as a pneumatic tire, a wheel for a vehicle, a tire-wheel assembly and a disc brake using this material.
Abstract:
A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode of vanadium pentoxide, a negative electrode of lithium-doped carbonaceous material, and an organic electrolyte liquid containing a lithium salt. The electric capacities of the positive and negative materials are selected such that the electric capacity of the carbonaceous material at a potential of 1 volt or lower vs. lithium counter electrode is 0.8 to 1.8 times the electric capacity of vanadium pentoxide at a potential of 2.5 volts or higher vs. lithium counter electrode. Graphitized mesophase microspheres resulting from carbonization of pitch is preferred carbonaceous material. The battery is improved in both charge/discharge cycle and overdischarge properties.
Abstract:
A secondary battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte is improved in discharge performance by forming the positive electrode from a composite electrode material including a conductive organic polymer and a dischargeable metal oxide and/or metal chalcogenide.
Abstract:
In an electrochemical cell comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte, a film of electroconductive polymeric material having a conductor embedded therein at approximately the mid point of the film is used as an electrode active material and a collector associated therewith.
Abstract:
An electrochemical cell which has a positive electrode, a negative electrode and an electrolyte is described, a film consisting of an electrically conductive polymer material (which has a conductor embedded approximately in the centre of the film as the active electrode material) and a collector connected thereto having been used.
Abstract:
Of THE DISCLOSURE A conveyor belt having a cover layer and a core layer is disclosed. An adhesion-proofing agent is contained in the cover layer. The conveyor belt further has a migration-proofing layer provided between the cover layer and the core layer for preventing migration of the adhesion-proofing agent in the cover layer to the core layer.
Abstract:
Polyanilin having a thickness of from 0.3 to 5 mm which is suitable as an electronic material, in particular as an electrode material for cells or elements. Also described is a cell having a positive electrode, a negative electrode and an electolyte, where the polyaniline having a thickness of 0.3 to 5 mm is used to form at least one of the positive and negative electrodes, the cell having high energy density and good cell output which is stable for long periods.
Abstract:
A new approach for efficient current collection is provided for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell comprising a positive electrode having a polyaniline or conductive organic polymer as an active material, a negative electrode, a nonaqueous electrolyte, and an outer casing having these components received therein. The positive electrode is affixed to the inner surface of an outer casing segment associated with the positive electrode through a conductive adhesive layer having carbon powder dispersed in a base polymer. The cell can recover from an over-discharged state.
Abstract:
Polyaniline is highly conductive and less corrosive if it contains up to 7 mol % of the polyaniline in the benzeneammonium state and up to 25 mol % of the polyaniline in the quinonediimine state; both the amounts stated are based on the total molar amount of polyaniline.
