“…Commercial carbon fibers (CFs) for composite materials are currently produced from petrochemical products only. With a share of 96–98% of the overall CF production capacity, poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) is the most important precursor . Copolymers with an acrylonitrile content of at least 90% are processed to precursor fibers via wet spinning.…”

The manufacture of high mechanical strength cellulose‐based carbon fibers (CFs) is accomplished in a continuous process at comparably low temperatures and with high carbon yields. Applying a sulfur‐based carbonization agent, i.e., ammonium tosylate (ATS), carbon yields of 37% (83% of theory), and maximum tensile strengths and Young's moduli up to 2.0 and 84 GPa are obtained already at 1400 °C. For comparison, the use of the well‐known carbonization aid ammonium dihydrogenphosphate ((NH4)H2PO4), ADHP, is also investigated. Both the precursor and the CFs are characterized via elemental analysis, wide‐angle X‐ray scattering, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and tensile testing. Thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry/infrared spectroscopy discloses differences in structure formation between ATS and ADHP‐derived CFs during pyrolysis.

As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Simulations show that the meshfree model is capable of predicting cutting forces as a function of the fibre orientation. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the effect of important meshfree parameters such as the domain of influence and weight function on forces. One of the strongest advantages of the proposed model is the simple and automatic set up process, as meshing for domain discretisation is not required.

“…The demand for carbon fibers (CFs) is expected to increase within the next years from 51,000 t in 2015 to 8900 t in 2020 [1]; however, to establish CF-based materials in price-sensitive products, e.g. in automotive industry's large-scale production, their production costs have to be significantly reduced.…”

“…in automotive industry's large-scale production, their production costs have to be significantly reduced. Due to rising raw material and energy costs, worldwide research efforts address the development of alternative precursors besides of poly(acrylonitrile)-(PAN-) based precursor fibers from which currently up to 98% of all CFs are prepared of [1][2][3]. An additional drawback of PAN-based CFs is that large amounts of toxic pyrolysis products are formed during pyrolysis, which requires an extensive exhaust-gas after treatment.…”
