Abstract
Micro-coiled ZrC fibres were prepared by the vapour phase metallizing of micro-coiled carbon fibres using a ZrCl4 + H-2 + Ar gas mixture at 1100-1250 degrees C. The preparation conditions, morphology and bulk e lectrical resistivity of the obtained ZrC coils were examined. The coi ling morphology of the source coiled carbon fibres was fully preserved even after this treatment. The bulk resistivity of the coiled ZrC fib res decreased with bulk density and was 10(-1) s(-1) cm at 0.8 g cm(-3 ). (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Limited.
