The precursor fiber quality has a large impact on carbon fiber processing in terms of its
performance, production yield, and cost. Polyacrylonitrile precursor fibers have been used …

Although polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon fibers have been successfully
commercialized owing to their excellent material properties, their actual mechanical …

Graphene inclusion in a polymer matrix is a promising route to significantly enhance the
mechanical properties of low-grade carbon fibers (CFs). Using ReaxFF molecular dynamics …

The phase separation behavior of Extem/water/solvent systems for various solvents and
Extem/NMP/non-solvent systems for different types of coagulants was investigated. Ternary …

Membrane morphology of integrally skinned asymmetric membranes made by phase
inversion can be tailored by precise control of the thermodynamic properties of the casting …

Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are emerging as viable options for grid-scale energy storage,
but their elevated costs hamper commercialization. Enhancing the porous carbon electrode …

Water pollution caused by industrial and natural contaminants has placed a significant
burden on environment and human health. The present filtration membranes, however …

Electrically conductive fibers play an important role in smart electronic textiles to connect the
key components of a smart system, convey energy, and sometimes serve as a sensor …

Filtration performances and fouling behaviours of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVDF) membranes were studied in a pilot-scale membrane bioreactor. Results …

Based on the results of Part 1 of this work, we have chosen acrylonitrile copolymers for
preparing dopes in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Modeling the spinning process in static …
