Popis: The effect of different factors on useful properties of pitch-based graphite fibres intercalated with metal chlorides is investigated. Fibrous intercalation compounds were prepared with acceptor intercalants such as MnCl2 and CuCl2. The lowest resistivity value (10.6 μΩcm) was obtained for MnCl2-intercalated P-120 graphite fibres. The intercalation was found to influence the fibre mechanical properties significantly. A decrease in tensile strength and Young's modulus during intercalation was observed for all examined fibres. The stability of intercalated fibres in different environments (air, argon, epoxy matrix) was studied. The influence of current flow on resistance changes is shown.
