Oxi-PAN(Oxidized PAN, Oxi-PAN)섬유는 PAN 섬유를 1-2$^{\circ}C$/min정도의 승온 속도로 180-30$0^{\circ}C$ 정도의 저온, 산화 분위기에서 인장력을 가한 상태로 열처리하여 얻는 섬유이며, 이 열처리 과정 중에 PAN 섬유의 분자쇄에서는 Cyclization, Dehydrogenation 및 산화 반응이 일어나게 된다. 이렇게 제조된 Oxi-PAN 섬유는 탄소섬유의 프리컷(Precursor)로 사용되기도 하고 또한 열안정성이 뛰어나 내염화섬유용으로 사용되기도 한다. (중략)

본 연구에서는 인산코팅된 것과 되지 않은 OXI-PAN섬유를 사용하여 제조된 무질서 배향의 OXI-PAN/페놀수지 복합재료를 불활성분위기의 여러 열처리온도에서 탄화하였을 때, 섬유표면에 인화합물의 존재 유.무가 복합재료의 물리적특성 및 미세구조 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 두 종류 복합재료의 물리적특성 변화를 탄화온도 영향에 대한 섬유와 매트릭스 및 그 계면에서의 미세구조 거동변화와 기공형성의 관점에서 해석하였다. 열처리시 온도상승에 따라 섬유와 매트릭스 계면에서의 화학반응에 의해서 그 구분이 점차 사라지면서 국부적으로 치밀하고 균일한 상을 이루고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 탄화 조건에서도 인산코팅은 OXI-PAN 섬유의 직경의 감소를 억제하고 열안정성을 향상시키므로 복합재료의 부피수축률을 줄이고 탄화수율을 증가시키는데도 어느정도 기여할 수 있으리라 판단되었다.

In this study, carbon fibers were fabricated via carbonization of oxidized polyacrylonitrile (oxi-PAN) under different carbonization conditions. Carbonization of oxi-PAN fiber was performed under four different temperature (1300, 1400, 1500, $1600^{\circ}C$) with four different fiber tensions (14, 25, 35, 45 MPa). Effect of carbonization process on the structural development and mechanical properties of carbon fiber were characterized by single filament fiber tensile test and Raman spectroscopy. A clear correlation exists between the Raman spectrum and the tensile modulus of carbon fiber and effect of carbonization temperature on the tensile modulus showed increased tendency only at higher fiber tension (${\geq}25MPa$) while tensile strength showed decreased or random tendency. Therefore, it may be concluded that the optimization of carbonization temperature of oxi-PAN fiber also requires optimization of fiber tension.

The effect of pre-carbonization condition on the mechanical properties of nonwoven needle-punched carbon/phenolic composite was studied. The nonwoven Oxi-PAN felt was pre-carbonized at different temperature. The pre-carbonized Oxi-PAN felt was needle-punched and then carbonized. Needle-punched nonwoven carbon preforms were formed into composites with phenol resin. The tensile and flexural strengths showed maximum value with pre-carbonization temperature of $500^{\circ}C$. Compared with the non-pre-carbonized composite, the mechanical properties were slightly improved.

The effect of punching density and material composition on the tensile properties and optimum condition of manufacturing of carbon needle punched perform was studies. The interlaminar tensile strength were increased but the intralaminar tensile strength were decreased with increasing punching density. In the case of the performs composed of continuous oxi-PAN fabrics, there was a considerable improvement of the interlaminar and intralaminar tensile strength.

OXI-PAN fibers, Kynol fibers and rayon fibers were used as precursorsfor the preparation of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) by chemical activation with KOH at $800^{\circ}C$. The effects of different precursorfibers and fiber/KOH ratios on the final ACFs are discussed. The precursor fibers used are appropriate for the ACFs in a single stage pyrolysis process. The OXI-PAN fibers which were activated with KOH of 2.0M showed a specific surface area of $2328m^2/g$ however, loosed the fiber shape because of low yields. The Kynol fibers and Rayon fibers showed the high yields but the lower specific surface area of $900m^2/g$ and $774m^2/g$, respectively, at KOH of 1.5M. The OXI-PAN fibers which were activated with KOH of 1.5M have a specific surface area of $1028m^2/g$ and higher micro-pore volumes and lower yields rather than Kynol-1.5 and Rayon-1.5 samples. This phenomenon is because of higher chemical resistance of the Kynol and Rayon fibers rather than OXI-PAN fibers. However, the Kynol fibers were the best precursors on KOH activation at $800^{\circ}C$ considered carbon yields, surface areas and micropore volumes.

Oxidized PAN (OXI-PAN) fibers were used for the precursors of activated carbon fiber in study. How drying temperature affected the properties of carbon fibers on activating process of carbon fibers was investigated. The specific surface areas of activated carbon fibers have been determined on a series of chemically activated carbons with KOH and NaOH. The experimental data showed variations in specific surface area, iodine and silver adsorptions by the activated carbon fibers. The amount of iodine adsorption increases with increasing specific surface areas in both activation methods. This was because the ionic radius of iodine was smaller than the interior micropore size of activated carbon fibers. Silver adsorbed well in NaOH activated carbon fibers rather than KOH activated carbon fibers in this study.

Activated Carbon Fibers (ACFs) are widely used as adsorbents in technologies related to pollution abatement due to their highly porous structure and large adsorption capacity. The porous structure and surface area of ACFs depends strongly on both the activation processes arid the nature .of the precursors. The chemical activation with hydroxides has recently been, of great interest as it permits the preparation of activated carbon fibers with highly developed porosity. In this work, OXI-PAN fiber used as precursor for the preparation of activated carbon fibers by chemical activation with KOH and NaOH. The affects of several activation conditions on the surface properties, pore size distribution and adsorption capacity of Ag ion and Iodine ion on ACFs studied.

In the present paper, a variety of fiber reinforcements, for instance, stabilized OXI-PAN fibers, quasi-carbon fibers, commercial carbon fibers, and their woven fabric forms, have been utilized to fabricate pseudo-unidirectional (pseudo-UD) and 2-directional (2D) phenolic matrix composites using a compression molding method. Prior to fabricating quasi-carbon fiber/phenolic (QC/P) composites, stabilized OXI-PAN fibers and fabrics were heat-treated under low temperature carbonization processes to prepare quasi-carbon fibers and fabrics. The thermal conductivity and thermal expansion/contraction behavior of QC/P composites have been investigated and compared with those of carbon fiber/phenolic (C/P) and stabilized fiber/phenolic composites. Also, the chemical compositions of the fibers used have been characterized. The results suggest that use of proper quasi-carbonization process may control effectively not only the chemical compositions of resulting quasi-carbon fibers but also the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion behavior of quasi-carbon fibers/phenolic composites in the intermediate range between stabilized PAN fiber- and carbon fiber-reinforced phenolic composites.

The effect of punching density on the mechanical and thermal properties of nonwoven needle-punched carbon/phenol composite was studied. The carbonized preforms were farmed into composites with phenol resin. The interlaminar shear, tensile and flexural strengths were increased with increasing punching density. However, excessive punching density decreased interlaminar shear and tensile strengths. Erosion rate of carbon/phenol composite was decreased with increasing punching density
