Pressure-Strengthened Carbon Fibers from Mesophase PitchCarbonization Processes
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS(2022)
摘要
Little attention has been devoted to studying the pressures during themesophase pitches carbonization processes and their effects on the as-produced carbonfibers'mechanical properties. Herein, we study the pressure-enhanced graphitization of mesophasepitch and the promoted tensile stresses of the produced carbonfibers using full atomisticsimulations based on reactive forcefields. Results show that pressures increase the tensile stressof as-producedfibers by 3.7-11 times under 1-6 GPa isotropic compressing pressure. Thehighest tensile stress can reach 4.39 GPa in carbonized coal tar pitch at 4000 K under 6 GPa.In experimental work, the pressurized laser-processed mesophase pitch generates less gas andshows more ordered carbonized structures in Raman spectra. This work provides afundamental understanding of the reaction mechanism of carbonfiber production underpressure, and also illustrates a promising method to manufacture mesophase pitch-basedcarbonfibers with exceptional mechanical properties.
