β¦ Synopsis
Carbon fibers and carbon/carbon
composites have been treated with borate additives and then cured at 500-600Β°C
to produce a continuous film of boron oxide on all exposed surfaces.This treatment has been found to be highly effective in retarding oxidation of the carbonaceous substrate for extended periods in flowing air at temperatures up to 1000Β°C. At higher temperatures, and in the presence of water vapor, borate species were appreciably volatile and the oxidation protection provided by the coatings was less effective.

## Abstract Carbon fiber (CF) filled lowβdensity polyethylene (LDPE) composites were prepared by the conventional meltβmixing method. The distribution of CF in the composite was studied by wideβangle Xβray diffraction (WAXD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations. A phenomenological mo
Unidirectional (UD) composites, fabricated with surface-oxidized HT carbon fibers (Magnamite AS4, Hercules) and with two mesogenic pitches and two mesophase pitches, were stabilized at 1 MPa oxygen pressure and 200Β°C to various amounts of oxygen uptake, carbonized and graphitization-treated at 2100Β°
