Abstract
Continuous titanium carbide barrier coatings have been grown on UKN-5000 and VMN-4 carbon fibers using chemical vapor transport. The surface morphology and microstructure of as-received and TiC-coated fibers have been studied by scanning electron microscopy. The coating process is shown to raise the tensile strength and Weibull modulus of the fibers.
