Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to elastomers and articles reinforced with 0.10 to 25 phr Graphite fibers having a diameter of 0.05 to 0.5 microns and length from 1 to 40 mu m. Also provided is an economical method of incorporating very fine Graphite fibers into an elastomer matrix. In the method Graphite fibers are dispersed in an acidic solution and mixed with a coagulating liquid (for coagulating latex), and the mixture of graphite/coagulating liquid is mixed with a latex solution to provide an elastomer/graphite composite.
