Abstract
Carbon fibers of uniform diameter have been grown by pyrolysis of natural gas in type 304 stainless steel (18% Cr, 8% Ni) tubes at temperatures between 950 and 1075 °C. The method utilizes the circulation of wet hydrogen outside the growth tube in order to promote effective nucleation. Fibers 12 cm long having average moduli of 1.8×1011 Pa have been grown.Keywords
