Preferred Label : graphite fibres;
IUPAC definition : Carbon fibres consisting mostly of synthetic graphite for which three-dimensional
crystalline order is confirmed by X-ray diffraction.;
Scope note : graphite fibres can be obtained by graphitization heat treatment of carbon fibres
if these consist mostly of graphitizable carbon. if the h,k,l diffraction lines are
difficult to recognize because they are of minor intensity, the mean interlayer spacing
c/2 can be used as indication for the presence of a graphitic structure. the c/2
value of 0.34nm is generally considered as an upper limit for synthetic graphite.;
