Fig. 6: Properties of aqPAM-CF and comparison with PAN-CF.
From: Carbon fibre production using an ecofriendly water-soluble precursor
a Tensile strengths, b tensile moduli, and c, elongation at break of single fibres extracted from aqPAM-CF and mPAN-CF bundles. aqPAM-CF and mPAN-CF bundles were produced by continuous stabilisation, continuous pre-carbonisation, and continuous carbonisation. The tensile strengths, tensile moduli, and elongation of aqPAM-CF (d) and mPAN-CF (j) are the averages obtained for 50 single fibres, and the other values refer to the averages obtained for 10 single fibres per sample. The values shown above the bars indicate the mean values. Error bars on the bar plots (a–c) represent standard deviation of the mean values.
