Structure Features and Young’s Modulus of Carbon Fibres

  • Chapter
MICC 90

Abstract

It is shown that for a broad class of high-temperature nongraphitizable carbon fibres Young’s modulus can be calculated using only known elastic constants of graphitic crystallites and average texture and macrostructure characteristics. Magnetic susceptibility anisotropy was used to determine the texture parameter, and electrical conductivity and texture data were used to estimate the macrostructure. Calculations are in a good agreement with experimental values of Young’s modulus for carbon fibres based on different precursors: polyacrylonitrile, rayon and isotropic pitches.
