Abstract
AbstractThe manufacturing of high‐performance carbon fibers (CFs) from low‐cost textile grade poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) homo‐ and copolymers using continuous electron beam (EB) irradiation, stabilization, and carbonization on a kilogram scale is reported. The resulting CFs have tensile strengths of up to 3.1 ± 0.6 GPa and Young's moduli of up to 212 ± 9 GPa, exceeding standard grade CFs such as Toray T300. Additionally, the Weibull strength and modulus, the microstructure, and the morphology of these CFs are determined.
