Carbon Fiber Morphology. 2. Expanded Wide-Angle X-Ray Diffraction Studies of Carbon Fibers

Abstract

This report, describes the wide-angle x-ray diffraction studies and results on carbon and graphite fibers. Commercial PAN- and pitch-based carbon fibers spanning the generally available modulus range were examined. Crystal perfection, size, orientation, and degree of graphitization and calculated voids content are correlated with tensile modulus, tensile strength, and compression strength. These same parameters are examined as a function of heat treatment of several fibers as well.
