Preparation of thick silica coatings on carbon fibers with fine-structured silica nanotubes induced by a self-assembly process
A facile method to coat carbon fibers with a silica shell is presented in this work. By immobilizing linear polyamines on the carbon fiber surface, the high catalytic activity of polyamines in the sol–gel-processing of silica precursors is used to deposit a silica coating directly on the fiber’s sur...
