Popis: Room temperature Raman microprobe, (00 l ) x-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity measurements have been performed on carbon/carbon composites made from mesophase pitch which were heat treated (T HT ) at 2680°C, 2820°C and 3015°C. Results of these measurements indicate that both the ex-pitch carbon fiber and mesophase pitch matrix constituents of the composites were highly graphitic, exhibiting in-plane crystallite dimensions (L a ) greater than 1000 A for this range of T HT values. The c-axis crystallite dimensions (L c ) were determined by analysis of x-ray diffraction peak widths to be ∼ 150 A . CuCl 2 was successfully reacted with T HT = 3020°C composites forming a stage 3 intercalation compound in both the fibers and the matrix, as determined by their Raman spectra.
