When the bromine residue in graphite is heated and cooled between 20" and 900ยฐC there is an emission of Brz over certain relatively small temperature ranges on both heating and cooling. It is shown that two of these emissions are associated with observed decreases in X-ray diffraction spacing betwee

โฆ Synopsis
In
situ reaction kinetics of bromine intercalation in carbon fibers have been followed by measuring changes in their electrical resistivity during an intercalation and de-intercalation cycle. The study suggests that for well-graphitized P-55(HTT 3000ยฐC) and P-120 carbon fibers the reaction starts instantaneously and most of the charge transfer takes place within the first ten minutes with only 6% Br, weight uptake. It has also been shown that the threshold bromine vapor pressure lies below 26 Torr for P-120 fibers (Tpseudo _ -15ยฐC) and 48 Torr for P-55 HT and is dependent on the structure of the host carbon fibers. The results have been compared with the earlier ex situ bromination studies on carbon fibers.

A study was carried out on the variation in the electrical resistance of carbon fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester/polyurethane (UP/PU) IPN composites during static tension, cyclical loading, and unloading in tension. The resistance was found to vary nonlinearly with strain and increase abruptly
Temperature dependence of the resistivity has been measured between 4.2 K and 273 K on C,F, C,TiF, and C,VF,. The resistivity obeys the equation, p(T) = A + BT + CT\* in the temperature range up to around 170 K and 220 K, where C,F and C,VF, exhibit anomalous inflections possibly connected with phas
Upon exposure to room-temperature fluorine, intercalated carbon fibers (containing either bromine alone or iodine and bromine together) become heavier and less stable. For Amoco P-100 graphitized carbon fibers, which were intercalated with 18 wt% bromine, 1 hour of fluorine exposure resulted in a la
