Abstract

Oak Ridge National Laboratory and FISIPE S.A. have developed a lower cost carbon fiber precursor based on textile grade, PAN fiber containing vinyl acetate. A chemical pretreatment of the textile grade material was developed and conversion conditions determined. This lower cost precursor is targeted to produce a new grade of carbon fiber for high volume industries.
