Description

Currently, most of the carbon fibers are made from unsustainable fossil fuel-based precursors including high purity polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and pitch. High purity PAN is not only more expensive than wool fiber but also a limited quantity is produced because of global shortage of its monomer. In this work, various cross-linking pathways are explored as a means of altering the yield and tensile properties of carbon fiber derived from the carbonization of cross-linked wool fiber at 800°C under n...
