Abstract
The structure and the microtexture of carbon fibers are determined by transmission electron microscopy. All PANβbased carbon fibers are made up of elemental microtextural units (EMU) whose microtexture governs their mechanical properties. EMU Carbon layers exhibit either their edge or their surface for outcropping the external surface of the fiber. Interfacial phenomena between fibers and matrix in a composite material depend on this outer microtexture.

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°
