Abstract

Carbon fibre (CFs) are fibre about 5–10 Micrometres in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. Carbon based materials such as graphenes, carbon black, carbon fibers (CFs), CNFs, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanocoils, and carbon onions have attracted growing interest because of their low weight, small thickness, and high flexibility. Among various carbonaceous materials, CFs and their composites have been found to be fascinating candidates owing to their excellent mechanical and electrical properties, low cost, and wide availability as compared to CNTs and graphenes. Carbon fibres have several advantages including high stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, high chemical resistance, high-temperature tolerance and low thermal expansion. In the present work, CFs is synthesized by using organic waste precursor obtained from plant fibre at 600oC in inert atmosphere of Argon. The surface area analysis has done using Surface area analyzer instrument. Characterisation study of CFs was done with the help of SEM, FT-IR and XRD. The size observed in SEM for CFs is in the range of 1-2 µm.<
