Using TTIP as a starting material, we investigated sol-gel fabrication of TiO2-coated carbon fibers, and op timized the following fabrication parameters: coating solution composition, pulling rate and dipping time. TG measurement results indicated that no weight reduction occurred in the coated fibers air up to at a high temperature of 1000•Ž. From these experiments, it was concluded that the fabricated carbon fibers coated with TiO2 were oxidation resistant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
