Claims
- 1. An oxygen and thermally stable woven, non-woven or knit fabric comprising carbonaceous fibers with a metal surface coating thereon, said carbonaceous fibers comprising resilient shaped reforming elongatable non-linear non-flammable carbonaceous fibers, said fibers having a reversible deflection ratio of greater than 1.2:1 and an aspect ratio greater than 10:1.
- 2. The woven, non-woven or knit fabric of claim 1 wherein the fibers have a sinusoidal configuration.
- 3. The woven, non-woven or knit fabric of claim 1 wherein the fibers have a coil-like configuration.
- 4. The woven, non-woven or knit fabric of claim 1 wherein the fibers are derived from oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers.
- 5. The woven, non-woven or knit fabric of claim 1 wherein the fiber is derived from an acrylic based polymer.
- 6. The woven, non-woven or knit fabric of claim 1 wherein said fibers have a resistance of greater than 10.sup.7 ohms per inch when measured on a 6K tow formed from precursor fibers having a diameter of 7 to 20 microns and are non-electrically conductive fibers.
- 7. The woven, non-woven or knit fabric of claim 1 wherein said fibers have a resistance less than 10.sup.4 ohms per inch when measured on a 6K tow formed from precursor fibers having a diameter of 7 to 20 microns and are electrically conductive.
- 8. The woven, non-woven or knit fabric of claim 1 wherein said fibers have a resistance of about 10.sup.7 to 10.sup.4 ohms per inch when measured on a 6K tow formed from precursor fibers having a diameter of 7 to 20 microns and posses anti-static characteristics.
- 9. An oxygen and thermally stable woven, non-woven or knit fabric comprising carbonaceous fibers with a metal surface coating thereon, said carbonaceous fibers comprising resilient shape reforming elongatable non-linear, non-flammable carbonaceous fibers, said fibers having a reversible deflection ratio of greater than 1.2:1 and an aspect ratio greater than 10:1, said metal being selected from the group consisting of nickel, gold, and titanium.
