Preferred Label : carbon fibre;
IUPAC definition : Fibres (filaments, tows, yarns, rovings) consisting of at least 92% (mass fraction)
carbon, usually in the non-graphitic state.;
Scope note : carbon fibres are fabricated by pyrolysis of organic precursor fibres or by growth
from gaseous hydrocarbons. the use of the term graphite fibres instead of carbon fibres
as often observed in the literature is incorrect and should be avoided. the term graphite
fibres is justified only if three-dimensional crystalline order is confirmed, e.g.
by x-ray diffraction measurements.;
