The coating process was carried out in three stages. First, polyacrylonitrile was deposited by electrospinning. Then it was stabilized at temperatures up to 250°C. The last stage was the carbonization performed below 1000°C. The microstructure of the obtained coatings was observed using a scanning electron microscope. The X-ray diffraction techniques were applied to analyze the coating structure. After the polyacrylonitrile deposition, the fibers had an average diameter of about 280 nm, and the final fibers were almost twice as tiny. The applied steps also changed the phase and crystalline state of the fibers, finally leading to the formation of amorphous-nanocrystalline graphite.}, type={Article}, title={PAN-Based Carbon Fibers Deposition on NiTi Surface}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/128445/PDF-MASTER/AMM-2023-3-36-Goryczka.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2023.145481}, keywords={electrospinning, Carbon fibers, PAN fibers, nitinol}, }
