On Structural Formation of Carbon-Containing Fibers by Pyrolysis,
Abstract
The absence of satisfactory information in regard to the effects of a number of factors on the properties of the fibers produced by pyrolysis and lack of knowledge related to complex chemical processes occurring during pyrolysis, also lack of understanding in regard to structure of the carbonized fibers, prevent the manufacture of fibers with desirable properties and also hinder the development of optimum conditions for their synthesis. The work is devoted to the development of methods for the production of carbonized fibers with improved properties, and also to the study of the effects of a number of important factors on the structure of carbonized fiber. A method suggested earlier in the manufacture of fibers consists of pyrolysis of cellulose fiber, which is modified in advance chemically. This leads to an increase in yields of the product, improves the properties of the product, and insures introduction into the modified fiber of some metals, which in turn opens up wide possibilities in process control and permits the manufacture of a wide range of products with various useful properties (3,4). The fibers manufactured using this method are the subject of this research study. (Author)
