Abstract
The accelerated aging characteristics of electroconductive papers manufactured with a mixture of carbon fiber were investigated by heating in dry oven. By accelerated aging time, the tensile strength, tensile stretch of the papers were decreased more slowly with increase of carbon fiber content, but the electrical conductivity was more rapidly decreased in case of high carbon fiber content. The weight loss of papers by thermal analysis were reduced as increasing the carbon fiber content. These results were indicated that the electrical conductivity of carbon fiber was diminished easily by heat aging, but thermal characteristic of carbon fiber was much better than that of wood pulp.
