gas-phase-grown carbon fibres

@C00831@ grown in an atmosphere of @H02889@ with the aid of fine particulate solid catalysts such as iron or other transition metals and consisting of @G02690@.
Note:
Gas-phase-grown carbon fibres transform during @G02692@ into @G02686@. These show a very high degree of preferred orientation and are particularly suitable for intercalation treatments. The term 'vapour-grown carbon fibres' alternatively used in the literature is acceptable. The use of the term 'CVD fibres' is not recommended as an alternative for gas-phase-grown carbon fibres since the term 'CVD fibres' also describes fibres grown by a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process on substrate fibres.
