Abstract

Carbon fibres were treated with nitrogen dioxide, bromine, and hydrazine to determine whether any changes in the arrangement of the carbon layer planes could be observed. A statistical analysis of lattice image photographs showed small increases in crystallite width (most notable with hydrazine) and also in the apparent length. This is consistent with previous suggestions that intercalation produces ordering by means of dislocation movement during changes in the graphite stacking mode.
