Abstract: | Carbon fibres with good mechanical properties have been produced from linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). The melt-spun LLDPE fibres were made infusible by treatment with chlorosulphonic acid. The cross-linked fibres were pyrolysed at temperatures between 600 and 1100 °C under tension, in a nitrogen atmosphere, within 5 min. Carbon fibres prepared at 900 °C had a tensile strength of 1.15 GPa and a Young's modulus of 60 GPa. The elongation at break was extremely high, up to 3%. The carbon yield of the process was 72 to 75%. |
