Diazonium Salts for the Preparation of Carbon Composites with a Focus on Applications of Carbon Fibers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Aryl Diazonium Salts and Related Compounds

Part of the book series: Physical Chemistry in Action ((PCIA))

Abstract

This chapter will provide insight into the use of aryl diazonium salts to functionalize carbon fiber. Examining the production of carbon fiber and its current industry applications. The methods of analysis of functionalized carbon fiber; mechanical tests to evaluate the structural integrity and strength of the fiber will also be covered. Moreover, the chemical analysis that can be used to confirm successful surface grafting has occurred. The literature reports of aryl diazonium salt grafting to carbon fiber over the past decade are explored, examining approaches of functionalization and the increased diversity of applications these chemistries provide.
