The above data represent the first from composites fabricated with fixed catalyst VGCF. A review of the data leads to the conclusion that the thermal and electrical properties of this type of carbon fiber are perhaps the most likely to be exploited in the short term. While mechanical properties of the composites are not as attractive as the thermal and electrical, it may be noted that no effort has...

Highly pure lanthanum oxide is used to make optical glass of high refractive index for camera lenses. It also is used to make glass fibers. The oxide also is used to improve thermal and electrical properties of barium and strontium titanates. Other applications are in glass polishes carbon arc electrodes fluorescent type phosphors and as a diluent for nuclear fuels. In such apph-cations, lanthinum oxide is usually combined with other rare earth oxides. 

The fabrication process of vanadium oxide (VO2) has also been studied using RBS/C. Since optieal and electrical properties of VO2 are dramatically changed at 68°C due to phase transition, VO2 is regarded as one of the candidates for thermally activated electronic or optical switching devices for optieal fibers or sensors. To obtain the desired properties, the development of the fabrication process for very thin films, without crystalline defects on various substrates, is required. Single-crystalline VO2 thin films on (0001) plane of a sapphire substrate have been synthesized by a laser ablation method. The quality of VO2 was examined by X-ray diffraction and RBS/C method. The eleetrieal resistanee and the optical transmittance of the VO2 film were measured under inereasing and deereasing temperatures. At a temperature of 68 °C, an abrupt transition of resistanee from metal to... 

Some electrical properties of reinforcing fibers, composite resins, and the resulting composites are given in Tables 6.12, 6.13, and 6.14, respectively. These values should be taken as approximate only, especially for the composites, since fiber orientation, content, and field strengfh have an enormous impacf on fhe dielecfric properties of these materials. Some of the most widespread electrical applications for glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy systems are in printed circuit boards and electrical housing such as junction boxes.

Thermo-electrical properties of PVA composite fibers with a large fraction of carbon nanotubes were studied by Miaudet et al. (52,53). Low temperature conductivity measurements showed that the conductivity depends on several factors the electronic properties of the nanotubes (54), the number and properties of intertube contacts, like in other polymer composites (55). The authors investigated also the behavior at high temperature. A strong increase of conductivity is observed in the vicinity of the glass transition of...
