โฆ Synopsis
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 temperature range (1283-1353 K) investigated, the maximum average fiber length increased with an increase in temperature.
At a constant temperature, the average fiber length initially increased with duration of lengthening, and finally reached an asymptotic value. The fiber lengths were unaffected by thickening. A two-parameter model can satisfactorily explain the observed variation in average fiber length with duration of lengthening.

Carbon fibers grown by pyrolysis of natural gas were heat-treated at temperatures ranging from 1400 to 3OOO"C, and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Their electrical resistivity is reported for temperatures between 10 and 370 K, and explained for heat treatment above 2200ยฐC using a simple graphiti
The elastic properties of individual vapor-grown carbon fibers have been studied via the lowstrain, vibrating-reed technique. The average Young's modulus is found to be 680 GPa, with some indication that the intrinsic modulus of CVD carbon may be much higher. This value exceeds those found by earli
