“…Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers are currently the predominant precursors for carbon fiber 23 . Carbon nanotube (CNT) containing PAN fibers and PAN/CNT carbon fibers have been reported to expand the carbon fiber properties map [24][25][26] . Inclusion of 4 lower case number representing the total draw ratio.…”

Graphene oxide nanoribbon (GONR) made by the oxidative unzipping of multiwalled carbon nanotube was dispersed in dimethylformamide and mixed with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) to fabricate continuous PAN/GONR composite fibers by gel spinning. Subsequently, PAN/GONR composite fibers were stabilized and carbonized in a batch process to fabricate composite carbon fibers. Structure, processing, and properties of the composite precursor and carbon fibers have been studied. This study shows that GONR can be used to make porous precursor and carbon fibers. In addition, GONR also shows the potential to make higher mechanical property carbon fibers than that achieved from PAN precursor only.

“…As we know, the thermal conductivity of CNTs (2000-6000 Wm -1 K -1 ) 36,37 is much higher than that of PAN (~0.2 Wm -1 K -1 ) 38 and ionic liquids (0.1~0.2 Wm -1 K -1 ) 39 , which significantly This suggests that the addition of CNTs lowers the crystallinity of the fibers.…”

Drawing to change the structural properties and cyclization behaviors of the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) chains in crystalline and amorphous regions is carried out on PAN and PAN/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite fibers. Various characterization methods including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis are used to monitor the structural evolution and cyclization behaviors of the fibers. With an increase of the draw ratio during the plasticized spinning process, the structural parameters of the fibers, i.e. crystallinity and planar zigzag conformation, are decreased at first, and then increased, which are associated with the heat exchange rate and the oriented-crystallization rate. A possible mechanism for plasticized spinning is proposed to explain the changing trends of crystallinity and planar zigzag conformation. PAN and PAN/CNT fibers exhibit various cyclization behaviors induced by drawing, e.g., the initiation temperature for the cyclization (Ti) of PAN fibers is increased with increasing draw ratio, while Ti of PAN/CNT fibers is decreased. Drawing also facilitates cyclization and lowers the percentage of β-amino nitrile for PAN/CNT fibers during the stabilization.

“…They suggested that these hollow carbon fibers (CFs) could be used to fabricate low density and high performance structural composite parts. At the same group, Chien et al . also produced PAN/multi wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) sheath with PAN core and PAN sheath with PAN/MWCNT core bicomponent fibers using gel spinning.…”

There has been a steady progress in developing synthetic fibers in the past few years. Bicomponent fibers and nanofibers in a core/shell (C/S) configuration, including two dissimilar materials have presented unusual potential for use in many novel applications. These fibers can be produced using a variety of materials via different techniques i.e., coaxial melt spinning and electrospinning. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in C/S fibers and nanofibers' production. The first part has been assigned to the bicomponent fibers manufacturing technology, while production and applications of C/S nanofibers have been described in the second part.
