Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers are the most widely used precursor of the materials for carbon fibers. The conventional process of carbon fibers from PAN precursor fiber includes two step; stabilization at low temperature and carbonization at high temperature. Compared to thermal stabilization, the stabilization process by electron beam (E-beam) irradiation is a advanced and brief method. However, a stabilization by E-beam irradiation was required a high dose (over 5,000 kGy) and spend over 1.5 hr (1.14 MeV, 1 mA). In the present work the main goal is exploring a quick stabilization process by cotrolling E-beam currents. The effect of various E-beam currents on stabilization of PAN precursor fiber was studied by gel fraction test, thermo gravimertic analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), tensile strength, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images.

In order to study the impact of atmosphere during electron beam irradiation (EBI) of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fibers, the latter were stabilized by EBI in both air and oxygen atmospheres. Gel-fraction determination indicated that EBI-stabilization under an oxygen atmosphere leads to an enhanced cyclization in the PAN fibers. In the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, the PAN fibers stabilized by EBI under an oxygen atmosphere exhibited a greater decrease in the peak intensity at 2244 cm⁻¹ (C≡N vibration) and a greater increase in the peak intensity at 1628 cm⁻¹ (C=N absorption) than the corresponding PAN fibers stabilized under an air atmosphere. From the X-ray diffraction analysis it was found that oxygen uptake in PAN fibers leads to an increase in the amorphous region, produced by cyclization.

The mechanical and thermal properties of PAN-based/Rayon-based carbon fabrics interply hybrid composite materials have been studied. Mechanical properties was improved with increasing amount of continuous PAN-based carbon fabrics. The erosion rate was calculated through torch test. The thermal conductivity of hybrid of spun PAN-based/continuous rayon-based carbon fabric is lower than others.

Sulphuric acid was intercalated in mesophase pitch based graphite fiber (Thornel P100 of Amoco), PAN based graphite fiber (M40 of Thoray) and PAN based carbon fiber (T300 ofThoray, TZ307 of Taekwang in Korea) by 0.4wt% CrO3/H2SO4 solution. The degree of crystallization of fibers increased P100, M40, TZ307, T300 fiber in order and their d002 values were 3.384, 3.424, 3.470, 3.493$\AA$, respectively. After intercalation P100 fiber formed 1 stage compound whose d002 value was 3.994$\AA$(d001=7.988$\AA$). Other fibers showed (002) reflection belonging to their 1 stage comound and prinstine fiber.

The influences of various carbonization temperatures on electrical resistivity and morphologies of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based nanofiber webs were studied. The diameter size distribution and morphologies of the nanofiber webs were observed by a scanning electron microscope. The electrical resistivity behaviors of the webs were evaluated by a volume resistivity tester. From the results, the volume resistivity of the carbon webs was ranged from $5.1{\times}10^{-1}\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ to $3.0{\times}10^{-2}\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, and the average diameter of the fiber webs was varied in the range of 310 to 160 nm with increasing the carbonization temperature. These results could be explained that the graphitic region of carbon webs was formed after carbonization at high temperatures. And the amorphous structure of polymeric fiber webs was significantly changed to the graphitic crystalline, resulting in shrinking the size of fiber diameters.

Polyacrylonitrile(PAN)-based 탄소섬유와 epoxy resin matrix 내에 장착된 PAN-based 탄소섬유의 전기저항을 탄소섬유와 파괴될 때까지 인장강도를 증가시키며 측정하였다. 탄소섬유가 끊어져 측정 계기가 open-circuit을 나타내기 전까지 탄소섬유의 전기저항 값은 strain이 증가할수록 증가하였으며, epoxy resin은 탄소섬유의 저항값 측정에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 탄소섬유의 저항값 변화는 strain에 대해 정확도 1% 이내로 예측(calibrate)할 수 있었으며 재현성 또한 우수하였다. 따라서 탄소섬유는 재료의 기계적 강도를 증가시키기 위해 사용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 구조재료의 파괴를 예측할 수 있는 스마트 센서로서도 사용할 수 있다는 가능성을 확인하였다.

The compressive strength and electrical resistance of pitch-based carbon fiber (CF) in cementitious materials are explored to determine the feasibility of its use as a functional material in construction. The most widely used CFs are manufactured from polyacrylonitrile (PAN-based CF). Alternatively, short CFs are obtained in an economical way using pitch as a precursor in a melt-blown process (pitch-based CF), which is cheaper and more eco-friendly method because this pitch-based CF is basically recycled from petroleum residue. In the construction field, PAN-based CFs in the form of fabric are used for rehabilitation purposes to reinforce concrete slabs and piers because of their high mechanical properties. However, studies have revealed that construction materials with pitch-based CF are not popular. This study explores the compressive strength and electrical resistances of a cement paste prism using pitch-based CF.

본 연구에서는 oxi-PAN 섬유를 이용하여 각각의 온도와 각 온도에서의 섬유에 부가되는 장력을 조절하여 탄소섬유를 제조하고 단섬유 인장실험과 라만 분광분석을 수행하여 결과를 바탕으로 oxi-PAN 섬유의 탄화 조건에 따른 구조적 변화와 그에 따른 물성의 변화를 관찰하고자 하였다. 라만 분광분석을 통해 계산된 $I_D/I_G$ 측정값들은 탄소섬유의 탄성율과 동일한 변화양상을 보여주었으며 특히 탄화온도는 일반적으로 고온일수록 흑연구조가 발달하여 섬유의 탄성율이 증가하는 양상이 나타난다고 알려져 있으나 결과를 통해 분석한 바에 따르면 일정한 장력(${\geq}25MPa$) 이상에서만 그러한 결과가 관찰되는 것으로 나타났다. 이와는 대조적으로 인장강도의 경우 라만분광분석 결과와의 연관성을 찾을 수 없었으며 또한 부가되는 장력에 의해 증가혹은 감소하는 상반된 경향이 다양하게 나타나 특정 변수에 따른 영향을 판단하기 어려웠다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과를 통해 특히 고탄성율의 탄소섬유의 제조를 위한 oxi-PAN 섬유의 탄화 온도 최적화를 위해서는 최적의 섬유장력 조건 또한 중요하게 고려되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

In the PAN-based ACF manufacturing system stabilization step was improved with chemical treatment (preoxidation) in order to yield higher carbon content and to avoid excessive fragmentation during carbonization and activation process. The optimal condition of preoxidation was at 18$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 minutes in sodium glyceroxide in glycerine (concentration of NaOH was 0.02 meq/g). To investigate low temperature stabilization effect, preoxidized PAN fiber heated 22$0^{\circ}C$ to 26$0^{\circ}C$ as a function of treatment time and oxidative gas atmosphere, and analysed by infrared spectrum and TGA. As a results of IR and TGA, it was clear that impregnated[preoxidative] PAN had 14% higher residual than untreated PAN at 100$0^{\circ}C$ and the optimal condition of stabilization was at 26$0^{\circ}C$ for 3.5 hours within $N_2$ atmosphere.

범용 PAN계 탄소섬유를 $1,500^{\circ}C$까지 열처리한 후 탄소함량, 결정화도, 결정크기를 분석하고 이들의 변화에 따른 표면의 발열특성을 조사하였다. PAN계 탄소섬유의 결정화도, 결정크기는 열처리 온도가 1,000에서 $1500^{\circ}C$로 증가하는 동안 각각 37.08에서 53.69%, 1.62에서 1.82 nm로 증가하였고, 탄소섬유의 초기표면발열온도는 결정화도, 결정크기가 증가할수록 1차식으로 비례하여 증가하였다. 따라서 탄소섬유의 결정화도와 결정크기를 표면발열온도의 상승을 측정하여 간접적으로 신속하게 추정할 수 있게 되었다.
