instead of the commonly-used alkaline-acid method. The process parameters were optimized. Results showed that the fixed carbon mass fraction achieved by this method could be as high as 99.9% under the optimal conditions while that by the alkaline-acid method was only 85.8%, indicating that the alkal

✦ Synopsis
Results from a study of the "recoil from tension" method for estimating the compressive strength of the poiyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon fibers are reported here. Analysis of the effect of different gauge lengths on the recoil strength distribution and the fracture morphological features of cross sections of the tested filaments imply that both axial recoil and bending influence the recoil failure of PAN-based carbon fibers. The experimental recoil strength distributions have been compared to logistic and weibull models. A universal logistic model that incorporates a dependence on gauge length has been found to provide a good fit to the distributions obtained at different gauge lengths. This analytical expression can be used to obtain a physically meaningful extrapolated average "zero gauge length" recoil strength. which might be appropriate for estimating the true axial compressive strength of fibers.

PAN-based carbon fibers were stabilized under various tensions in the presence of air at 230°C and sequentially activated at 950°C following carbonization. The prepared carbon fibers were tested for their SO2 adsorption capacity using a thermogravimeter. The magnitude of tension during stabilization
which must operate at low temperature. In addition, the easy dispersion of the array of nanowires has been demonstrated. This process is thus an interesting method to produce large quantities of individual Ni-filled CNT.
Current carbon fiber production from acrylic fibers employ wet or dry spun PAN-based precursors that require expensive solvents and costly solvent recovery methods. Recently, it has been discovered that melt spun PAN-based fibers can be prepared by using water as a plasticizer to lower the viscosity
