Preferred Label : gas-phase-grown carbon fibres;
IUPAC acronym : CVD;
IUPAC definition : Carbon fibres grown in an atmosphere of hydrocarbons with the aid of fine particulate
solid catalysts such as iron or other transition metals and consisting of graphitizable
carbon.;
Scope note : gas-phase-grown carbon fibres transform during graphitization heat treatment into
graphite fibres. these show a very high degree of preferred orientation and are particularly
suitable for intercalation treatments. the term vapour-grown carbon fibres alternatively
used in the literature is acceptable. the use of the term cvd fibres is not recommended
as an alternative for gas-phase-grown carbon fibres since the term cvd fibres also
describes fibres grown by a chemical vapour deposition (cvd) process on substrate
fibres.;
