UV stabilization route for melt-processible PAN-based carbon fibers

Ultraviolet radiation-based stabilization routes were explored to produce carbon fibers from melt-processible PAN-based copolymers. An acrylonitrile /methyl acrylate (AN/MA) copolymer was melt-spun into fibers that were crosslinked using UV radiation. The fibers could then be stabilized by oxidative...
