Graphite Fibers and Filaments

This book was begun after three of the present authors gave a series of in­ vited talks on the subject of the structure and properties of carbon filaments. This was at a conference on the subject of optical obscuration, for which submicrometer diameter filaments with high length-to-diameter ratios h...
