Abstract
Brominated pitch based graphite fibers exhibit certain novel properties and potential applications [1,2]. For example, it has been observed that an 18 fold reduction of their resistivities of the pitch-based graphite fibers can be achieved if the pristine fibers are allowed to fully interact with bromine [3] and even the residual fiber compounds that are formed by pumping off the bromine from the fully brominated fibers (saturated fibers), exhibit a five-fold reduction in the resistivities relative to that of the pristine fibers [3]. To understand this property, it is essential to know the Br distribution in such fiber compounds. Here we focus on the residual fibers that have a density of 2.2 gm/cm3 corresponding to a composition of BrC4 5.
