- Applied Surface Science, 171(1-2), p.136-142, 2001 .
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)has been used to investigate the surface characteristics of two carbon ®bers and determine the role of surface treatment in improving the properties of a carbon ®ber composite. Carbon and oxygen were the major elements observed on the surface of the carbon ®ber samples. Small amounts of lightly oxidized nitrogen amounting to about 3 at.
