Analytical Chemistry
|
Current research is directed towards the elucidation of important physical properties displayed by carbon fibers after activation with high electric potential or constant current. The extent to which carbon fibers are activated allows control of the size of channels and pores produced in the fibers. Studies are ongoing which involve the capacity of treated fibers to serve as adsorbents, and as platforms in the development of novel chemical sensors. |
