Effects of γ-Ray Irradiation on the Radial Structure Heterogeneity in Polyacrylonitrile Fibers during Thermal Stabilization

The radial structural heterogeneity of thermally-stabilized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber is considered to be a limiting factor affecting the mechanical properties of the resulting carbon fibers. In this study, we demonstrate that a low-dose (60 kGy) γ-ray irradiation pretreatment can effe...
