Neutron-diffraction analysis of titanium carbide fibers and microtubes formed by self-propagating high temperature synthesis reaction

Synthesis of titanium carbide–carbon nanofibers via carbothermal reduction of titania with carbon

“…The development of new multifunctional hybrid fillers can practically be important because much smaller amounts (lower than 5 wt%) of material would be needed to achieve the desired properties of the composites. In particular, fibrous metalinorganic hybrid materials such as metal carbides would be commercially appealing since they can possess both metallic and inorganic characteristics [4][5][6].…”
