Abstract
The process of synthesis of carbon fiber from hydrocarbon vapours in low-current electrical-discharge plasma was investigated in the paper. The carbon fibers were effectively synthesised in discharge of positive polarity generated between a stainless steel needle and a plate made of nickel alloy, for the discharge current ranged from 1 mA up to 3 mA. The experiments were carried out at normal pressure in cyclohexane vapours with argon as carrier gas. The diameter of produced fibers varied from about 20 to 70 μm. The growth rate of the fiber was about 0.25 mm/s.
