Abstract: An integrated and improved, single-step, process for the production of a carbon fiber precursor is described, specifically a process which starts from the comonomers and reaches the spinning step, obtaining the final precursor fiber.
Abstract: An optimized process for the preparation of a spinning solution for the production of acrylic fiber precursors (PAN) of carbon fibers and an optimized process for the production of carbon fibers from said acrylic precursor (PAN), are described.
Abstract: A process for the preparation of a homogeneous spinning solution for the production of acrylic fibers, which includes: preparing an aqueous suspension of homopolymer or copolymer of acrylonitrile through the polymerization of monomers in aqueous suspension, removal of the unreacted monomers, filtration and washing of the aqueous suspension, obtaining a filtration cake; dispersing the filtration cake; and evaporating the dispersion of polymer or obtaining the homogeneous spinning solution.
