ABSTRACT:
The internal structure of carbon fibers (as defined) is modified to yield a fibrous product having a bound oxygen content of about 3 to 30 percent by weight which exhibits substantially different bulk properties than that of the starting material. The carbon fiber precursor is contacted with a strong acid medium comprising nitric acid and optionally sulfuric acid and water (as defined) under conditions found capable of producing the desired internal chemical modification. In a preferred embodiment of the process the strong acid medium is formed by a combination (as defined) of fuming nitric acid and fuming sulfuric acid. The fibrous product exhibits, inter alia, reduced electrical and thermal conductivities, and particularly is suited for use as an ablative reinforcing medium.
