Abstract:
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) carbon fibers due to a series of excellent performance in various fields has
been widely used. At present, industrial production of carbon fibers of the highest tensile strength of
7.02GPa, only about 4% of the theoretical value , to improve the quality of the carbon fibers there is a
huge space . PAN-based carbon fiber aggregation is prepared on the basis of microscopic structure is
closely related to the quality of the carbon fiber . However, there is still a lack of an effective way to
evaluate the structure of the original PAN fiber and carbon fiber performance. For solution spinning
polyacrylonitrile copolymer polyacrylonitrile -based carbon fiber production process is very critical
part , directly affect the follow-up process , the initial copolymer structure and properties determines
the final structure and properties of carbon fibers . This paper studies the use of carbon fiber
polyacrylonitrile solution polymerization related issues. The literature for the preparation of a
copolymer of polyacrylonitrile precursor monomers and polymerization methods varied , but for the
solution of the highest attainable molecular weight polymer polyacrylonitrile not yet conclusive , the
paper dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent, even N -bis-isobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator of
acrylonitrile and acrylamide radical solution copolymerization system for the system of total monomer
concentration , monomer ratio , AIBN concentration , reaction temperature, reaction temperature and
stirring rate of poly acrylonitrile molecular weight , the conversion rate was studied. ( 1 ) through
process optimization , conversion rate of the copolymer is over 87% , viscosity average molecular
weight of about 210,000 . ( 2) Since the difference in monomer reactivity , raw material composition
is not consistent with the copolymer composition . With the increase in the amount of added AM ,
AN / AM polymerization reaction rate ( conversion rate ) first increased and then decreased, first
decreased and then increased molecular weight of the copolymer . ( 3 ) of the AN and AM in dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent to AIBN as initiator , the polymerization temperature is 58 ~ 62 the
copolymerization mechanism . Step-heating method using the AM and AN copolymer , in order to
improve the conversion rate of the polymer and the average molecular weight. The results showed that
: 58 reaction 0.5h, rose to 60 reaction 0.5h, finally rose to 62 temperature 31h, this condition
resulting polymer synthesis compared with the thermostat , the conversion rate is over 87% , the
molecular weight can be increased by nearly 10 Wan , reaching 210,000 .
