Graphite fiber intercalation compounds were prepared by immersing graphitized thin vapor-grown carbon fibers (VGCF's) with diameters less than 0.5 μm into liquid bromine. The composition of Br2-intercalated VGCF was C70Br-C90Br. The powder resistivity of Br2-intercalated VGCF was estimated as 1/3 of pristine VGCF. An electroconductive plastic composite was prepared by mixing phenol resin with that of bromine intercalated VGCF as a conductive filler, and its electrical properties were investigated. The resistivity of a Br2-intercalated VGCF composite was 1.1 × 10−2 Ω · cm at room temperature, which is about 50% of pristine VGCF composite. Br2-intercalated VGCF-based composite had a high degree of stability against exposure at 150 °C in air and at 85 °C with 90% humidity for 500 h. Br2-intercalated VGCF-based plastic composites could be used as highly electroconductive materials.

ABSTRACTHighly graphitized pitch based carbon fibers with heat treatment temperatures (HTT) of 2500°C, and 3000°C have been intercalated with SbCl5, ICl, HNO3, and Br2. These were reacted either by themselves alone, or in double sequence (e.g. Br2 followed by SbCl5). The electrical resistivities of individual fibers were then measured in air, and as a function of temperature, to a series of temperatures, to test air and thermal stability. The lowest resistivity found in this sequence so far is 28 micro ohm cm when ICl intercalation was followed by HNO3 reaction. These conductors are sometimes air stable (depending on intercalant) at room temperature and can be heated somewhat, but begin to deintercalate at much lower temperatures than was found for CuCl2 intercalated fibers [1,2]. In comparison with the CuCl2 reaction with pitch fibers, these intercalants react easily, and thesequential intercalations appear to give lower final resistivities.

In recantation of his earlier approach, Peter L. Berger now claims: ‘The world today, with some exceptions […], is as furiously religious as it ever was, and in some places more so than ever.’ The most important exception that Berger refers to is Western Europe. The introduction to Part II provides an overview of the religious landscape in Western Europe. The data show that the current religious situation in the countries of Western Europe is in fact subject to considerable variation. It would therefore be erroneous to describe Western Europe as secularized. At the same time, the data reveal that there have been clear secularization tendencies over the last few decades. To grasp the diversity of religious tendencies, Part II deals with three cases: West Germany with moderate downward tendencies, Italy with a considerably high degree of stability, and the Netherlands displaying disproportionately strong secularizing tendencies.

Polymer conductive filler composites are believed to be promising materials for flexible force sensor manufacture. Polyisoprene various carbon allotrope hybrid composites were made and their piezoresistive properties depending on the two type’s filler concentration and their ratio have been determined. Electrical resistance relaxations of hybrid composites at constant pressure in room temperature were determined as well. Experimental data of resistance relaxation was analyzed and fitted similarly to stress relaxation of polymers at constant pressure.
