This review focuses on recent development of technologies used for producing coal tar pitch-
based carbon fiber along with its applications. In the first part, modification of coal tar pitch by …

Interest in carbon fibers (CFs) is due to their chemical properties, high electrical conductivity
and mechanical strength, which makes them promising candidates for various kinds of …

Resin is one of the key components of fluid catalytic cracking slurry oil which is the raw
material to form high-quality mesophase pitch. The effect of resin variations on the formation …

The remarkable properties exhibited by carbon fibers have generated considerable interest
in seeking alternative approaches to replace time-consuming, energy-intensive, and multi …

Refined coal tar pitch (RCTP) without pre-hydrogenation modification usually needs thermal
sedimentation or centrifugation to obtain 100% coal-based mesophase pitch (CMP) after …

For the preparation of high-performance pitch-based carbon fibers and other carbon
materials, mesophase pitch serves as a high-quality precursor. Since FCC (Fluid Catalytic …

Oxidative stabilization plays an extremely important role in maintaining shape and structural
integrity and preventing inter-filament fusing of isotropic pitch fibers during the subsequent …

The composition of isotropic pitch (IP) is the key factor to determine the performance of
carbon fibers (CFs). It is necessary to investigate the effect of chemical structure of pitch and …

Co‑carbonization of aromatic-rich distillate oil (HCTO-RF) with polyethylene glycol (PEG) is
a reliable process to prepare isotropic pitch with superior spinnability for producing carbon …

Here we present a method to prepare carbon block with excellent mechanical strength by
using coal tar pitch and thermoplastic phenolic resin as a mixed binder and hexamethylene …
