Polyacrylonitrile (abbreviation PAN) is the polymer of acrylonitrile. PAN molecule has strong polar nitrile groups.It is relatively insoluble in nature. PAN based carbon fibers possess very high strength compared to other polymeric precursors. When subjected to heat treatment, it can produce high carbon yield giving rise to thermally stable, highly oriented, graphite like molecular structure.
P 4095 (OTTO) Polyacrylonitrile, average Mw 150,000 Cas 25014-41-9 - used as fibers in outdoor awning, sails for yachts, and fiber-reinforced concrete. P 4095 (OTTO) Polyacrylonitrile, average Mw 150,000 Cas 25014-41-9 - used as polymeric carbon precursor to form carbon fibers, electrospun activated carbon materials having meso-macro pores, carbon black additives.
