Researchers from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) have developed an industrial-use sheet gasket by alternately laminating composite films of clay and polyimide and expanded graphite sheets (Fig. 1). The gasket boasts excellent sealing performance at from ultralow temperatures to high temperatures, and prevents flange corrosion because it is an insulator.
