Flexible carbon fiber fabrics of 1.7 μm diameter fiber were prepared by electrospray deposition (ESD) from phenolic resin/poly(vinyl butyral) and successive curing and carbonization. In the present study, phenolic resin (thermostable 3-dimensional cross-linked polymer) was used for ESD and successiv...
