Abstract

See full text

In a preferred embodiment, graphite fibers are grown on a suitably nucleated ceramic surface by passing a methane gas stream over the surface at an elevated temperature. Initially, the methane concentration in the gas stream is adjusted to between 5 and 15 volume percent to form microscopic carbon filaments. Thereafter, the methane concentration is increased to above 25 volume percent to thicken the filaments into fibers.
