Abstract

The raw material for the production of carbon fibers is a precursor – polyacrylonitrile, from which polyacrylonitrile fibers are made. This article discusses methods for copolymerization of polyacrylonitrile (in solution, in suspension, in melt and in emulsion), and methods for forming fibers from it (wet, dry, dry-wet methods, electrospinning, as well as a promising method for producing from melt), technological process receiving fibers. The advantages and disadvantages of copolymerization methods and molding methods are also considered.
