Abstract
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.
