摘要

High-performance carbon nanofibers are highly dependent on the performance of their precursors,especially polyacrylonitrile(PAN).In this work,the copolymer of PAN(coPAN)was synthesized for electrospinning.A self-assembling set-up was used for the stretching of single coPAN nanofibers.FTIR and Raman spectroscopies were used to characterize the chemical structure of coPAN nanofibers.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and atomic force microscopy(AFM)were used to monitor the morphology of single coPAN nanofibers under different drawing times.Micro-tensile test was used to determine the mechanical properties of single coPAN nanofibers.The results indicated that the drawing led to an increase in degree of molecular orientation along the fiber axis from 0.656 to 0.808,tensile strength from 304 MPa to 595 MPa,and modulus from 3.1 GPa to 12.4 GPa.This research would provide fundamental information of high-performance electrospun coPAN nanofibers and offer opportunities for the preparation of high-performance carbon nanofibers.
