Abstract

Pitch based fibers (Amoco, P-120) have been exposed to IF7 or BrF5. With IF7 the fibers react in two stages: First the fibers approximately double in weight but remain graphitic with increased disorder. In the final stage fluorination occurs. The electrical conductivity increases at first by a factor of 10, but finally reaches a value of 10-5 of the pristine fibers.
