Study on the PAN carbon-fiber-innovation for modeling a successful R&D management

Abstract: We have investigated the processes of invention of PAN (Polyacrylonitrile) carbon fiber and its technology transfer to private companies. From this investigation and analysis, we have found a new R&D management model, named "excited-oscillation model". This model suggests that both the top-down management and the personal motivation should be in phase and synergetic with each other. In this paper, the results and concept of the above model are described in detail.Study on the PAN carbon-fiber-innovation for mo… Show more

“…Carbon fiber, which is the same fibrous carbon and for which an industrial manufacturing method was invented by a Japanese, grew into an industry in which the Japanese company dominates about 70 % of the world share. [22] Currently, it is used as structural material of aircrafts and strengthening material for buildings. Now the price of general-purpose products has decreased to the level of several thousand yen per kg, but it was about 100,000 yen/kg at the beginning of its commercialization.…”

“…The manufacturing method that employed the concept of "minimal manufacturing" with low cost, low environmental load, high function, and low resource consumption was synthesized. The R&D for PAN carbon fiber by Nakamura et al [34] is also a combination of the breakthrough type and strategic selection type.…”

“…In the early 1960s, PAN-based carbon fibers were developed by Akio Shindo. 2 To manufacture PAN-based carbon fibers, PAN is processed to a fibrous shape by spinning, and then oxidation, carbonization, and surface treatment are performed. Pitch-based carbon fibers were developed in 1970 by Leonard Singer.…”
