U. Zielke et al., SURFACE-OXIDIZED CARBON-FIBERS .3. CHARACTERIZATION OF CARBON-FIBER SURFACES BY THE WORK OF ADHESION PH DIAGRAM/, Carbon, 34(8), 1996, pp. 1007-1013
Results of Parts I and II on the surface chemistry of surface-oxidized
carbon fibers were used (1) for an interpretation of the W-SL/pH diag
ram, and (2) an assessment of the usefulness of surface analytical met
hods. Results of XPS (O1s:C1s ratio) can be correlated with the result
s of TPD. However, the work of adhesion results as determined by CAM (
contact angle measurements) do not correlate with the results from eit
her of the other two methods. The reason will be explained in Part IV
of this series. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
