Patent GB-1033207-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of carbon tubes
Inventor: LOSTY HOWARD HAROLD WALTER
IPC: C04B35/524
Filed: 1963-09-25
Abstract: A carbon tube is produced by subjecting a liquid polymerizable monomeric cyclic carbon-containing compound to a polymerization process, arresting the polymerization when the resulting polymer is still capable of plastic deformation, forming the polymer into a tube, inserting a rigid mandrel within the tube, heating the tube and mandrel at a temperature and for a time sufficient to completely decompose the polymer into carbon and volatile matter and to drive off the volatile matter, cooling the carbon tube and mandrel, and withdrawing the mandrel from the tube.  The mandrel, which has a configuration corresponding to the desired internal configuration of the carbon tube, has a cross-section smaller than the internal cross-section of the plastic polymer tube but such that the tube will engage with the mandrel when the shrinkage of the tube in the carbonization step is substantially complete. The mandrel is formed of a material, preferably of steel of a composition given in the Specification, with a coefficient of thermal expansion which is higher than that of the material of the tube at temperatures at and near the temperature at which engagement between the tube and the mandrel takes place. The carbon-containing compound is preferably furfuryl alcohol, but may be furfural or other readily polymerizable cyclic compounds. Polymerization is preferably effected by the application of heat and pressure alone, without the use of a catalyst.  The plastic polymer may be formed into a tube by moulding in a suitably shaped die or by extruding the plastic material around a preliminary mandrel; alternatively, a preliminary mandrel may be initially immersed in the polymerizable liquid, a tube being formed around this mandrel during the polymerization step.  The carbonization step, which may be effected by heating to 1000 DEG  C. may be carried out in two or more heating stages, the tube being shrunk on to a different mandrel in each stage, the mandrels used for successive stages being of progressively smaller cross-section and that used for the final heating stage preferably being formed of steel of the given composition.  After carbonization and withdrawal of the, or of the final mandrel, the carbon tube may be further heat-treated at a temperature of from 1500 DEG  to 3000 DEG  C.  The shape and size of the carbon tube may be adjusted by machining prior to the final heat treatment and either before or after removal of the mandrel.  The process may be modified to produce a fuel element for a nuclear reactor, when the, or the final, mandrel is formed of a ceramic fissile or fertile material, for example an oxide or carbide of uranium, thorium or plutonium, and is retained within the carbon tube.

Title: Process for the heat treatment of synthetic polymeric films

Abstract: 1,030,908. Heat treating thermoplastic films. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Sept. 24, 1964 [Oct. 7, 1963], No. 39404/63. Heading B5B. An oriented film of a synthetic organic thermoplastic crystallizable polymeric material is heat treated by continuously passing the film in heat-transfer relationship around the peripheral surface of a rotating roll which is heated to such an extent that its peripheral surface is maintained at a temperature (below the melting point of the film) such that sag and wrinkles are eliminated from the film, but not at a temperature sufficiently high to cause heat setting of the film, whereby its desired shrinkage properties at shrink packaging temperatures would be lost, and finally quenching the heattreated film. " Oriented films " are defined as films which have been drawn in one direction to induce molecular orientation in that direction or biaxially in two directions in the plane of the film, normally the longitudinal and transverse directions. The maximum temperature of the roll surface is preferably more than 20‹ C. below the expected lowest temperature to be used in the shrink packaging of the film. The film may be polypropylene and the temperature of the roll surface may be 80‹ to 100‹ C. The film may be a polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate or a linear (high density) polythene. The lateral restraint may be applied to the film by holding its edges against the roll by means of two endless rubber vee belts or rubber belts of rectangular cross-section each travelling around three pulleys, two of which urge the belt against the edge of the film in the regions in which the film first contacts and then leaves the roll. Alternatively, the lateral restraint may be applied to the film by holding the film against the surface of the roll by electrically earthing the surface and depositing an electrostatic charge in the surface of the film which does not contact the roll from a source of high voltage placed near to but out of contact with the film. After the film leaves the roll, the upper surface of the film may be discharged by contacting it with an earthing means or by causing it to travel just clear of the earthing means.
