Impact of Spinning Conditions on the Structure and Tensile Properties of Mesophase Pitch Carbon Fibers

Abstract

Experience in the biochemistry laboratory of the University of East Anglia (UK) as part of the program Ciências sem Fronteiras. Since 2014 working on the production of strategic carbon materials, a project that resulted from the partnership between the Centro Tecnológico do Exercito (CTEx) and Petrobras. Acted in the graphite manufacturing plant and in graphite's characterization, with emphasis on thermogravimetry and thermal conductivity. Currently working with pitch rheology and extrusion of this material for the production of carbon fibers.
