  Abstract

The effect of in situ thermal stretching during oxidative stabilization on the orientation of cyclized ladder structure was investigated. Based on the structure evolution of PAN fibers with the increasing stabilization temperatures, the stabilization process was classified into three different stages, namely before the onset of cyclization, during cyclization in amorphous region, and during cyclization in crystalline region. The polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fibers were stretched at the three stages with stretching ratios from 0 % to 8 % during continuous stabilization process. The results show that the orientation degree of cyclized ladder structure increases with the increase of stretching ratio at the three stages and the maximum orientation efficiency of cyclized ladder structure is obtained when PAN fibers are stretched at the stage of during cyclization in crystalline region. The orientation of resulting carbon fibers strongly depends on the orientation degree of cyclized ladder structure. The orientation efficiency of turbostratic graphite crystallite also agrees well with that of cyclized ladder structure. Meanwhile, the orientation efficiency of turbostratic graphite crystallite is higher than that of cyclized ladder structure and the difference values between orientation efficiency of the two structures decrease firstly then increase with the increase of degree of cyclization.
