588 vs. 384 (polyimide & carbon). C. T. Mueller J. G. Coffer 6/7/2000. Topics. Microscopic examination of 588 & 384 fiber samples much more “damage” to polyimide coating on 588 sample vs. 384 sample Resistance measurements on 588, 384, & CO858XB 1A (no carbon coating)

588 vs. 384 (polyimide & carbon) C. T. Mueller J. G. Coffer 6/7/2000
Topics • Microscopic examination of 588 & 384 fiber samples • much more “damage” to polyimide coating on 588 sample vs. 384 sample • Resistance measurements on 588, 384, & CO858XB 1A (no carbon coating) • Evaluation of NASA Goddard XPS data • concluded that XPS data does not support the presence of SiC on either sample (588 or 384)
CDO588XD Surface contamination? approximately periodically-spaced marks in the polyimide coating
CDO384XB Surface contamination
CDO384XB Some marks, but not as many nor as deep Surface contamination
Electrical Resistance Measurements • CDO588XD 13.0 kohm/cm • CDO384XB 12.3 kohm/cm • OC-1260 (no carbon coating) CO858XB1A >40 Mohms/cm • Recall: other UNCABLED carbon-coated fiber showed 15 kohm/cm
