Surface Properties of PAN-based Carbon Fibers Modified by Electrochemical Oxidization in Organic Electrolyte Systems

PAN-based carbon fibers were modified by electrochemical oxidization using fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate (O3P), triethanolamine (TEOA) and fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether ammonium phosphate (O3PNH4) as organic electrolyte respectively.Titration analysis, single fiber fracture strength measurement and field emission scanning elec
