Modification of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers with cobaltous chloride has increased crystal size, crystallinity, and density, and also improved tensile strength and modulus of the resulting carbon fibers. In this study, the effect of cobaltous chloride modification on the physical properties, micro

โฆ Synopsis
Graphite fibers were developed from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers which were modified with potassium permanganate. After the transitional temperature, the formation of graphite structures commenced, the crystals increased in thickness, and the preferred orientation of the fiber crystals increased. The Raman specific absorption peak of noncrystalline carbon layers (1360 cm-') weakened with the increase in the graphitization temperature, whereas the degree of graphitization rose. The results of this analysis indicate that manganese has the effect of catalyzing graphitization, thus increasing the mechanical properties of the graphite fibers.
