Study on the Effect of Formation Index on the Strength and Pore Properties of Carbon Paper-base Paper
In this study,carbon fiber was used as raw material to prepare carbon paper-base paper with different formation properties by changing the type of dispersant,the dispersion stability and uniformity of carbon fiber suspension were investigaled,and the relationship be-tween formation index and permeability,tensile strength and porosity was discussed.Compared with single APAM,TOCNs and PU disper-sants,the dispersion stability and uniformity of carbon fiber suspension dispersed by composite dispersants system composed of 0.1%APAM and 1%PU were improved,which had the best formation index of 10.32.With the decrease of formation index,the thickness deviation of car-bon paper bas-paper decreased from 21.76 mm to 0.96 mm,the tensile strength increased from 0.15 kN/m to 1.68 kN/m,the porosity de-creased from 93.5%to 90.5%,and the permeability decreased from 1 658.9 L/(m2·s)to 1 171.5 L/(m2·s).
