Abstract

A thin-plate-like flexible carbon plate having flexibility, excellent compressive strength, and even electrical conductivity is provided. A carbon plate 1 is a carbon plate having a thickness of 0.05 to 2.0 mm obtained by compression molding of a mixture of (a) 97 to 80 wt % carbon powder composed of 95 to 30 wt % expanded graphite powder and 5 to 70 wt % graphite powder, and (b) 3 to 20 wt % phenolic resin that do not contain ammonia, wherein a compressive strength is 3 MPa or more, a bending strain is 0.6% or more without a crack, and a contact resistance is 6 mΩ·cm 2 or less.

Claims (12)

1. A carbon plate having a thickness of 0.05 to 2.0 mm obtained by compression molding of a mixture of:

(a) 97 to 80 wt % carbon powder composed of 95 to 30 wt % expanded graphite powder and 5 to 70 wt % graphite powder; and

(b) 3 to 20 wt % phenolic resin not containing ammonia, wherein a compressive strength is 3 MPa or more, a bending strain is 0.6% or more without a crack, and a contact resistance is 6 mΩ·cm 2 or less.

2. The carbon plate according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum value of ten-point contact resistances is 6 mΩ·cm 2 or less.

3. The carbon plate according to claim 2 , wherein the graphite powder is coated with the phenolic resin.

4. A composite carbon plate having a carbon plate integrally joined to at least one side of a metal plate having a thickness of 10 to 150 μm, wherein the carbon plate is a carbon plate according to claim 2 .

5. The composite carbon plate according to claim 4 , wherein the metal plate is stainless steel.

6. The carbon plate according to claim 1 , wherein the graphite powder is coated with the phenolic resin.

7. A composite carbon plate having a carbon plate integrally joined to at least one side of a metal plate having a thickness of 10 to 150 μm, wherein the carbon plate is a carbon plate according claim 6 .

8. The composite carbon plate according to claim 7 , wherein the metal plate is stainless steel.

9. A composite carbon plate having a carbon plate integrally joined to at least one side of a metal plate having a thickness of 10 to 150 μm, wherein the carbon plate is a carbon plate according to claim 1 .

10. The composite carbon plate according to claim 9 , wherein the metal plate is stainless steel.
