Abstract
The thermal stability of fluorine-intercalated carbon fibres has been studied using differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry. The selected host fibres were polyacrylonitrile-based and pitch-based carb on fibres, either as-received or heat-treated at 3000 degrees C. Fluor ination performed at room temperature in the presence of hydrogen fluo ride led to stage-1 compounds for the most graphitized samples. The th ermal stability was found to depend on the host structure and on the a mount of intercalated fluorine.
