✦ Synopsis

DTA measurements were used for studies of the kinetics of the cyclization and oxidation of PAN during the thermal treatment in air and nitrogen. The cyclization is a first order reaction with an activation energy of about 30 kcal/mole in nitrogen and about 34 kcal/mole in air. For copolymer PAN (5% methylacrylate) lower activation energies were found. Oxygen promotes the initiation of the cyclization but does not catalyze the cyclization reaction itself. The sequence of cyclization and oxidation reactions is discussed in detail.

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers of special grade variety for making carbon fibers, have been modified by stretching in the presence of a plastisizer to 70% maximum strain. By doing so, the diameter of the original fibers is reduced from 12.5 p. to 10 CL, and the angle of orientation of the molecular

## Abstract It has been proposed that during the stabilization of polyacrylonitrile fibers, the reaction is initiated in the amorphous region and then propagates to the ordered region. However, the evidence is unsatisfactory, and some is quite controversial. It has been confirmed in this study thro
