Ceramic fibers used in composites are usually made by high-temperature methods. Carbon (graphite) fiber, for example, can be made by the thermal decomposition of fibers of polyacrylonitrile, a long-chain organic molecule also used to make the textile Orion ... 

Table 4 compares the mechanical properties of various organic fibers, graphite/carbon fibers, ceramic fibers, and glass fibers, and lists commercially important applications. One major application of organic fibers, such as Spectra and aramid fibers, is in ballistic In contrast, graphite, ceramic fibers, and glass fibers are primarily used in structural applications. One of the reasons that organic fibers find little...

In addition to the related mineral interferences, other minerals common in building material may present a problem for some microscopists gypsum, anhydrite, bru-cite, quartz fibers, talc fibers or ribbons, wollastonite, perlite, attapulgite, etc. Other fibrous materials commonly present in workplaces are fiberglass, mineral wool, ceramic wool, refractory ceramic fibers, kevlar, nomex, synthetic fibers, graphite or carbon fibers, cellulose (paper or wood) fibers, metal fibers, etc. 

Also used are metallic fibers, carbon fibers, graphite, whisker fibers, fibers obtained from titanates having good pigmentating properties, boron fibers (diameter = 0.1-0.12 mm), ceramic fibers, etc. Ceramic... 

Thermal conductivity of polymer materials has been enhanced by the addition of thermally conductive fillers, including carbon fiber, graphite, ceramic and metallic filler. Table 2 displays the thermal conductivity of some conductive filler ...
