How can a graphite fiber be made electrically and thermally conductive? Explain why fibers are
so capable of supporting a major portion of the load in composite materials.
Solution
A series of woven fabric laminar composite plates and narrow strips were fabricated from a
variety of pitch-based pristine and bromine intercalated graphite fibers in an attempt to determine
the influence of the weave on the electrical and thermal conduction. It was found generally that
these materials can be treated as if they are homogeneous plates. The rule of mixtures describes
the resistivity of the composite fairly well if it is realized that only the component of the fibers
normal to the equipotential surface will conduct current. When the composite is narrow with
respect to the fiber weave, however, there is a marked angular dependence of the resistance
which was well modeled by assuming that the current follows only along the fibers (and not
across them in a transverse direction), and that the contact resistance among the fibers in the
composite is negligible. The thermal conductivity of composites made from less conductive
fibers more closely followed the rule of mixtures than that of the high conductivity fibers, though
this is thought to be an artifact of the measurement technique. Electrical and thermal anisotropy
could be induced in a particular region of the structure by weaving together high and low
conductivity fibers in different directions, though this must be done throughout all of the layers
of the structure as interlaminar conduction precludes having only the top layer carry the
anisotropy. The anisotropy in the thermal conductivity is considerably less than either that
predicted by the rule of mixtures or the electrical resistivity.
Fibres are capable to support a major load due to the matrices and size of te fibres. It has three
functions:
a) to support the fibre in place and transfer the stress to beam.
b) to protect the fibre againstphysical damage and environment
c) to reduce the propagation of cracks in the composites.
