Abstract
A composite that includes an elastomer matrix into which carbon fibrils are incorporated. The fibrils are characterized as having a morphology consisting of tubes that are free of a continuous thermal carbon overcoat and have graphitic layers that are substantially parallel to the fibril axis, or as having a crystalline graphitic structure and a morphology defined by a fishbone-like arrangement of the graphite layers along the fibril axis.
