Popis: Structural carbon fibers surface-modified with titanium carbide have been studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Using statistical analysis of AFM images, quantitative characteristics of fiber surfaces have been determined. The results demonstrate that surface modification has a significant effect on the surface topography of the fibers: their surface becomes smoother and more uniform, as evidenced by the decrease in roughness value and average height and the narrower height distribution.
