| Description | Pitch based graphitized carbon fibers with electrical resistivity of 300 micro-Ohm/cm were brominated and partially debrominated to 18 percent bromine at room temperature, and then fluorinated at 300 to 450 C, either continuously or intermittently for several cycles. In addition, on fluorine and titanium fluoride intercalated fiber sample was fluorinated at 270 C from the same fiber source. The mass and conductivity of the brominated-debrominated then fluorinated fibers (with fluorine-to-carbon atom ratio of 0.54 or higher) stabilized at room temperature air in a few days. However, at 200 C, these values decreased rapidly and then more slowly, throughout a 2-week test period. The electrically insulative or semiconductive fibers were found to be compatible with epoxy and have the fluorine-to-carbon atom ratio of 0.65 to 0.68, thermal conductivity of 5 to 24 W/m-K, electrical resistivity of 10(exp 4) to 10(exp 11) Ohm/cm, tensile strength of 70 to 150 ksi, Young's modulus of 20 to 30 msi, and CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) values of 7 ppm/deg C. Data of these physical property values are preliminary. However, it is concluded that these physical properties can be tailor-made. They depend largely on the fluorine content of the final products and the intercalant in the fibers before fluorination, and, to a smaller extent, on the fluorination temperature histogram. |
