Epoxy resins are highly valued for their remarkable mechanical and chemical properties and
are extensively used in various applications such as coatings, adhesives, and fiber …

Hexavalent Cr (VI) found in industrial wastewater is a proven carcinogen which causes
serious health issues in humans around the world. This study presents a novel method to …

Plasticizers are additives used to ensure flexibility to polymer blends and thereby to increase
their processability. As the typical plastic component phthalates and other fossil-based …

The relationship between the degree of ring formation and the overall properties of the pre-
oxidized fibre was studied by treating PAN precursor with KClO 3/H 2 SO 4 solution and …

The effects of KBrO3 modification on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fibers at different
modification temperatures were studied. The mechanical properties, chemical structure …

The need for the use of suitable natural alternative materials to oil-derived carbon-based
materials, largely because of carbon IV oxide emissions and the attendant global health and …

Fiber-reinforced geopolymer concrete (GPC) is a green building material prepared from
solid waste. At present, the research on its static and dynamic properties is relatively …

Microwave-based dielectric heating is a suitable method for energy-and time-efficient
processes. Considering the energy required in the production of carbon fibers, it is evident …

In this work, we added strontium ions to hydrolyzed PAN fibers to improve their thermal
resistance. For comparison, we characterized hydrolyzed non-modified (PAN-H) and …

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber modification can promote the stabilization efficiency and
mechanical properties of the subsequent carbon fibers; however, it could cause damage to …
