Abstract

Considered are some special features of fabricating carbon-graphite materials and products by methods of volume gas-phase impregnation of porous substances with pyrocarbon. Main characteristics of the materials of this class are given. Results from reactor tests of the materials and products with a pyrocarbon binder as well as their possible applications are discussed.
