Low temperature graphitization of interphase polyacrylonitrile (PAN)

Abstract: A B S T R A C TOrdered polyacrylonitrile (PAN) interphase structures were formed in solution-cast PAN/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite films by enhancing polymer crystallization conditions and processing parameters for five types of CNTs. All film samples were heat-treated using similar stabilization and carbonization (up to 1100°C) processes. Both the precursor and carbonized materials were characterized by electron microscopy and X-ray spectroscopy. Highly ordered graphitic structure was formed predominantly … Show more

“…With the increase of heating temperature, the intensity and sharpness of this peak gradually raised, suggesting the aromatic layers growth and an increased ordering between the graphitic layers [45]. It is known that the degree of graphitization rises with temperature [46,47], which is also confirmed by the sharp peak appeared at~26.8 • attributed to the (002) reflection of hexagonal graphite at carbonization temperature 800 • C. This can also be observed from the results of Raman spectroscopy, which is another effective tool for micro structural analysis of carbon based materials [48]. The Raman spectra of cPAN CNFs with the final carbonization temperatures of 600, 700 and 800 • C are presented in Figure 3b-d. For carbonized NFs it consists of three dominant peaks assigned to D, D' and G bands, as shown in curve-fitting of the peaks of Raman spectra.…”

“…Among these fillers, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have captured a great amount of attention due to their outstanding tensile modulus (270-950 GPa) [1], tensile strength [1], thermal (200-3,000 W/m/K at 300 K) [2][3][4] and electrical conductivity (10 2 -10 7 S/m at 300 K) [5], high aspect ratio [6], and role as viscosity modifier [7]. CNTs also act as nucleating agent for polymer crystallization [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and have the potential for templating polymer interphase including ordered graphitic structure [15][16][17], as well as nanohybrid shish kebab [18,19] and transcrystalline structures [20][21][22].…”

“…The studies of heat treatment on PAN focus on two major categories, i.e., low temperature thermal oxidative stabilization [26][27][28][29][30] and high temperature carbonization [31][32][33][34]. Low temperature treatment of PAN refers to the temperature range from room temperature up to 300 • C [26,27].…”

“…The temperature range for the pre-carbonization of PAN-based carbon fiber is from 350 • C to 600 • C [28]. High temperature carbonization typically refers to the treatment in the temperature range from 800 • C to 1300 • C and graphitization of the fiber is in the temperature range from 1300 • C up to 2100 • C [29]. The change in structure of the polymer is significantly affected by various factors in this temperature range.…”
