Abstract
Mesophase pitch-based carbon fibres thermoset with Cl2 containing air were studied for their microstructures and physical properties. Carbon fibres thermoset with Cl2 containing air and heat-treated at 2000‡C (Cl22000) possessed slightly smaller mean sizes of crystallites L c(0 0 2)s, lower densities, lower tensile moduli of elasticity, and higher tensile strengths than those thermoset with air. X-ray diffraction measurements revealed a somewhat lower degree of preferred orientation of a carbon fibre which was thermoset with Cl2 containing air. The Cl2 thermosetting partly disordered the periodic arrangement of crystallites and reduced the crystallite size L c(0 0 2) of a carbon fibre heat-treated at a lower temperature. A strong temperature dependence of resistivity was shown for Cl2800, suggesting much disorder in its microstructure due to the Cl2 thermosetting, and Cl21000 and Cl21200, respectively showed specific temperature dependencies of resistivities.
