In this article, the surface-layer structure evolution of carbon fibers along the cross-section γ-irradiated in epoxy chloropropane has been estimated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy combined with in situ argon-ion sputtering that is different from argon-ion cleaning. In argon-ion (Arion) sputtering, the detection and sputtering were alternately in situ carried out. The penetration depth of irradiation medium on the surface of carbon fibers was accurately verified (13 nm) according to the absence of chlorine element and the change of O/C atomic ratio on γ-irradiated carbon fiber surface. Such characterization technology has opened up a meaningful method to analyze the heterogeneous structure of materials. POLYM. COM-POS., 40:E832-E834, 2019.
Based on the merits and demerits of conventional methods for fabricating TiO2@carbon nanofibers (TiO2@CNFs) composites, the composites were prepared via a foaming-assisted electrospinning strategy and subsequent thermal treatment.
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.
