The present work dealt with the preparation of carbon fibers from Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/ acrylamide (AM) fibers via a solvent-free coagulation process. The PAN/AM fibers were stabilized in an oxidizing atmosphere at various temperatures (200, 250, 275, and 300 °C), while the stabilization time was fixed at thirty minutes. The effects of stabilization temperature on the chemical and the physical properties of the prepared stabilized fibers were studied. The chemical structure evolutions of stabilized fibers (SFs) from the precursor fiber were observed with FTIR studies, whereas the microstructure properties were thoroughly characterized with SEM studies. The mechanical strengths of the SFs were obtained from the Young Modulus and the tensile strength analyses. Stabilization temperature at 275°C had been identified as the optimum stabilization temperature for the PAN/AM fibers.

Stabilization is the most complicated and time-consuming step in the manufacture of carbon fibers (CFs), which is important to prepare CFs with high performance. Accelerated stabilization was successfully demonstrated under effective plasma irradiation-assisted modification (PIM) of mesophase pitch fibers (PFs). The results showed that the PIM treatment could obviously introduce more oxygen-containing groups into PFs, which was remarkably efficient in shortening the stabilization time of PFs with a faster stabilization heating rate, as well as in preparing the corresponding CFs with higher performance. The obtained graphitized fiber (GF-5) from the PF-5 under PIM treatment of 5 min presented a higher tensile strength of 2.21 GPa, a higher tensile modulus of 502 GPa, and a higher thermal conductivity of 920 W/m·K compared to other GFs. Therefore, the accelerated stabilization of PFs by PIM treatment is an efficient strategy for developing low-cost pitch-based CFs with high performance.

AbstractThe surface modification of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers with boric acid was utilized to modulate the homogeneity of the radial structure of the PAN fibers during thermal stabilization. Exothermic peaks of the fibers were put off by boric acid, and unreacted nitrile groups of the oxidized PAN fibers increased with the boron content, indicating that boric acid on the fiber surface had an retardant effect on the thermal stabilization of PAN fibers. The relative skin thicknesses of the oxidized PAN fibers were quantitatively measured by sulfuric acid etching and SEM observation. The value increased obviously with the boron content, which could be further elevated by increasing stabilization time or decreasing stabilization temperature. Oxidized PAN fibers with more homogeneous radial structure can thus be obtained with the modification of boric acid, which might be beneficial for the preparation of high performance carbon fibers.
