Graphite and carbon fibers possess high tensile strengths and are used extensively as reinforcing agents in composite materials. It is important to modify the physical properties of such fibers by appropriate treatment. The electrical conductivities of the fibers can be increased by over an order of magnitude by intercalating them with intercalating agents such as AsF5. However, in some cases lower conductivities are desirable. These are attained by fluorinating the fibers. Pitch based carbon fibers with high degree of graphitization have been treated with halogen fluorides IF7, BrF5or ClF3leading to fluorinated fibers having final stoichiometries of approximately C2FX0.03–0.06(X = Br or Cl). The reaction with ClF3is: ClF3+ 4C → 2C2F + ClF, where the small amounts of adsorbed chlorine are neglected. The reaction with IF7can be described as: xC + yIF7→ Cx(IF5)F2y+ (y−1)IF5; i.e., part of the IF5is retained in the lattice. The reaction with BrF5produces large amounts of bromine and some BrF3. The unstable BrF may also be present, the latter being in equilibrium with Br2and the BrF3.The fluorinated fibers have electrical conductivities several orders of magnitude lower than the pristine fibers, which may be advantageous for certain applications. Their tensile strengths are diminished, but the degree of adhesion is significantly enhanced by the fluorination treatment which should lead to improved bonding with the matrix.
