Two different polyacrylonitrile precursor carbon fibers, an A fiber of low tensile modulus and an HM fiber of intermediate tensile modulus were characterized both as to their surface chemical and morphological composition as well as to their behavior in an epoxy matrix under interfacial shear loading conditions. The fiber surfaces were in two conditions. Untreated fibers were used as they were obtained from the reactors and surface treated fibers had a surface oxidative treatment applied to them. Quantitative differences in surface chemistry as well as interfacial shear strength were measur-ed. 

We have an excellent activated carbon of fiber morphology, so called activated carbon fiber ACF[3]. This ACF has considerably uniform slit-shaped micropores without mesopores, showing characteristic adsorption properties. The pore size distribution of ACF is very narrow compared with that of traditional granular activated carbon. Then, ACF has an aspect similar to the regular mesoporous silica in particular in carbon science. Consequently, we can understand more an unresolved problem such as adsorption of supercritical gas using ACF as an microporous adsorbent. 

When TP-modified thermosets are used as matrix for composites, the resulting morphologies can be strongly affected by the presence of glass or carbon fibers (Varley and Hodgkin, 1997). 

This chapter describes the preparation and examination of ceramic matrix composites realized by the addition of different carbon polymorphs (carbon black nanograins, graphite micrograins, carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes) to silicon nitride matrices. In the following sections, structural, morphological and mechanical characteristics of carbon-containing silicon nitride ceramics are presented.

An axial orientation of the layers is found in various fibrous carbon materials, in other words, a fibrous morphology is possible because of this axial orientation scheme. In carbon fibers, the coaxial and radial alignments of the layers along the reference axis (i.e., fiber axis) are possible (Figure 2.27). In Figure 2.31, the variety in the nanotexture of different carbon fibers is illustrated [129] and examples are shown in Figure 2.32. 

The carbon fibers present a filamentary shape with a diameter of few tens of nanometers (nanofibers) to few tens of micrometers. The structure is that of short graphitic segments. The preferred orientation of the graphitic planes is parallel to the fiber axis. The morphology can be radial, cross-sectional, or circumferential [25]. The carbon fibers present excellent mechanical and thermal properties. The carbon fibers are produced by two ways [26] ... 

The study of methane adsorption on activated carbon fibers has demonstrated, as was previously explained, that these carbonaceous materials, because of their cylindrical morphology and smaller diameter, have higher packing density than activated carbons with similar micropore volumes [191]. Subsequently, the higher adsorption capacity for the powdered activated carbons against the higher packing density for the fibers helps both kinds of materials reach similar, maximum adsorption values [191]. 

The carbon fiber acts as a binder and guarantees morphological stability.
