  • METHOD FOR THE THERMAL STABILISATION OF FIBRES AND SAID TYPE OF STABILISED FIBRES
    Publication number: 20170298539
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of thermally stabilised melt spun fibres, in which polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibres or PAN fibre precursors produced by melt spinning are treated in an aqueous alkaline solution which comprises in addition a solvent for PAN. Likewise, the invention relates to fibres which are producible according to this method.

  • MELT SPINNABLE COPOLYMERS FROM POLYACRYLONITRILE, METHOD FOR PRODUCING FIBERS OR FIBER PRECURSORS BY MEANS OF MELT SPINNING, AND FIBERS PRODUCED ACCORDINGLY
    Publication number: 20170275405
    Abstract: The invention relates to melt spinnable copolymers of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) which are producible by means of copolymerisation of acrylonitrile with an alkoxyalkylacrylate. As additional comonomers alkylacrylates and vinyl esters may be considered. Likewise, the invention relates to a method for the production of fibres or fibre precursors, in particular carbon fibre precursors, by means of melt spinning, in which the mentioned copolymer is used. Furthermore, the invention relates to fibres produced in this way, in particular carbon fibres.
