摘要
Vapor-grown carbon fibers (VGCF) are produced by depositing a layer of pyrocarbon from the vapor phase on a catalytically grown carbon filament. This morphology determines many properties of the fiber, since the filament is more graphitic than the pyrocarbon. In this paper we compare VGCF produced by a continuous process with those grown on a substrate. Fibers having thicker pyrocarbon layers are less graphitic as measured by X-ray diffractometry, electron diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. The bulk density of the fibers, near 2.03g/cm(3), is relatively high for carbon fibers; it decreases slightly as the pyrocarbon thickness increases. The surface area of the fibers determined by N-2 adsorption is not larger than the calculated geometric area, indicating that the surface is relatively smooth and free of pores. Each of these measurements indicates that fibers produced by a continuous process are comparable to those grown on substrates, with respect to graphitization and surface properties.
