β¦ Synopsis
The surfaces of Hercules Type A PAN-based graphite fibers both treated (AS) and untreated (ACT) were investigated using thermal deso~tion, krypton adso~tion thermodynamics and ISS t SIMS techniques. Surface treatment enhanced the surface energetics of these fibers on 39% of the surface over the untreated fiber. In addition, the surface treatment increases the affinity of the fiber surface for adsorbed material by a factor of 8 over the untreated fiber surface. Surface spectroscopy has shown that one surface constituent is sodium which is present in very large concentration on these fibers.
