✦ Synopsis

The fiber length distributions of carbon fibers grown on alumina substrates by the vapor phase decomposition of benzene have been measured at different lengthening times in the temperature range of 1283-1353 K and at two concentrations of benzene. The proportion of longer fibers increased with lengthening time. A two-parameter model has been used to compare the calculated and experimental fiber length distributions at various lengthening times. The evolution of the length distributions with time suggests the presence of an activation (of catalyst) step, leading to an induction phenomenon.

Carbon fibers were grown on alumina substrates by vapor phase decomposition of benzene in the presence of hydrogen in a tubular reactor. The effect of lengthening duration and temperature on the average fiber length was studied at two different benzene concentrations (13.2 and 18.6 mol%). In the tem
