Carbon Fibers: Precursor Systems, Processing, Structure, and Properties
TL;DR: This Review gives an overview of precursor systems, their processing, and the final precursor-dependent structure of carbon fibers (CFs) including new developments in precursor systems for low-cost CFs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Fibers: Precursors, Manufacturing, and Properties
TL;DR: The properties, structure, and processing of carbon fibers are reviewed in this paper, with PAN being the dominating precursor in the market, and the essential processes for carbon fiber production are similar, different precursors require different processing conditions in order to achieve improved performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biobased Structurally Compatible Polymer Blends Based on Lignin and Thermoplastic Elastomer Polyurethane as Carbon Fiber Precursors
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal properties were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry, rheology and thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier infrared measurements were utilized to explain the lignin/TPU interactions which governed the thermal and rheological behavior of the blends.
