Abstract
IT has been suggested recently that the morphology of high modulus carbon fibres involves sheet-like elements arranged concentric to the fibre axis1,2, somewhat in the manner of growth rings in trees. We have confirmed this proposal for PAN-based high modulus carbon fibres, supplied by the Celanese Research Company.
