  This review is devoted to the application of graphite and graphite composites
in science and technology. Structure and electrical properties, as so
technological aspects of producing of high-strength artificial graphite and
dynamics of its destruction are considered. These type of graphite are
traditionally used in the nuclear industry. Author was focused on the
properties of graphite composites based on carbon isotope 13C. Generally, the
review relies on the original results and concentrates on actual problems of
application and testing of graphite materials in modern nuclear physics and
science and its technology applications. Translated by author from chapters 5
