Abstract
For the sake of the carbon filaments’ fracture toughness, using the focused ion beam (FIB) to etch the carbon fibers and got different tensile strength, and all specimens were stretched on an Instron-type filaments testing machine and got the samples’ tensile strength, The crack-to-mirror size ratio was assumed as a constant, In virtue of Griffith fracture theory, Fracture toughness (KΙC) of representative high-strength type PAN (polyacrylonitrile)-based carbon fibers, Torayca T300 and T800, were estimated to be 1MPam1/2 from the tensile strength vs. fracture mirror size relation.
