Study on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon Nanotube/Polyacrylonitrile Composite Fibers

The method of preparing the multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWNTs)-polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composite fibers is described and the effects of draw ratio on the mechanical properties of CNT/PAN fibers have also been discussed.The results show that the degrees of MWNTs dispersion in the polymer matrix have much effect on the mechanical properties.
