Abstract  

C/C composites with different carbon matrix structures were prepared by CVI(chemical vapor infiltration) +PIC(resin precursor impregnation cracking) process using 2D carbon fiber needle-punched preforms as reinforcement and then were heat-treated at different temperatures. The effect of PyC (pyrolysis carbon)/ReC (resin carbon) ratio and degree of graphitization on the electrical resistivity of the composites was investigated. The results show that the electrical resistivity of the C/C composites of low density remains basically unchanged in a range of 27.3×10-6~28.0×10-6 Ω·m with the increase of PyC/ReC, which can be mainly attributed to the opposite effect of the increase of lattice size and structural integrity of graphite microcrystals and the increase of porosity of the composites. However, the electrical resistivity of C/C composites of high density decreases from 24.9×10-6 Ω·m to 20.5×10-6 Ω·m with the increase of PyC/ReC ratio. Because the slight increase of the porosity has a small contribution on the difference of electrical resistivity by hindering the effective carrier transfer in the conductive network for the C/C composites of low porosity. The graphitization degree of C/C composites increases and the electrical resistivity decreases with the heat treatment temperature increased from 1800℃ to 2500℃, which can be mainly attributed to the increase of carrier concentration and the weakening of grain boundary scattering.
