Patent ID: 7195701

Claim:
A process for depositing a nanomolecular layer of resin on a carbon fiber comprising: a. providing an aqueous solution of an organic compound contained in a non-conducting container, the organic compound comprising carboxymethylcellulose; b. connecting a direct current source to said carbon fiber; c. providing a graphite rod; d. combining the fiber, the aqueous solution, and the graphite rod in the non-conducting container with basic substance; e. attaching one power lead of the direct current source to the graphite rod which acts as the cathode, and the other lead to the carbon fiber as the anode to ionize the aqueous solution; f. applying an electric potential from said direct current source to cause the ionized aqueous solution to flow to said carbon fiber to form a nanomolecular layer thereon; and g. rinsing any excess chemicals from said carbon fiber with a rinse.
