Carbon Nano Fibers

Carbon Nanofiber (CNF) Carbon nanofiber (CNF) possesses a unique morphology not available in other nanomaterial. CNF has properties approaching the theoretical values of graphite in almost every performance characteristic. The CNF has a tubular structure with the sidewalls composed of angled graphite sheets.

CNF is a very pure product with over 99.9% fibrous material and very low metal concentrations. This morphology termed "stacked cup" or "herringbone" generates a fiber with exposed edge planes along the entire surface of the fiber. These edge sites are highly reactive and allow chemical modification of the fiber surface for maximum mechanical reinforcement in polymer composites. This open architecture also facilitates rapid intercalation and de-intercalation of heterogeneous atoms.
