Study on the Properties of Melt Spinning PAN/MWNTs Composite Fibers

Abstract:

Polyacrylonitrile（PAN）/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) composite fibers were prepared by melt spinning using ionic liquids (ILs) as a plasticizer. The effects of different MWNTs contents on the morphology, mechanical and conductive properties of the composite fibers were discussed. The results showed that property improvements have occurred with the adding of MWNTs. When the content of MWNTs reached 10%, the conductivity of PAN/MWNTs was 8.65×10-3 S/cm.
