T. Hashishin et al., OXIDATION-RESISTANT COATING OF CARBON-FIBERS WITH TIO2 BY SOL-GEL METHOD, Nippon Seramikkusu Kyokai gakujutsu ronbunshi, 106(1), 1998, pp. 1-5
Using TTIP as a starting material, we investigated sol-gel fabrication
of TiO2-coated carbon fibers, and optimized the following fabrication
parameters: coating solution composition, pulling rate and dipping ti
me. TG measurement results indicated that no weight reduction occurred
in the coated fibers air up to at a high temperature of 1000 degrees
C. From these experiments, it was concluded that the fabricated carbon
fibers coated with TiO2 were oxidation resistant.
