Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer is one of the most often utilised precursors for the synthesis of carbon fibres. In this work, PAN was electrospun prior to stabilisation at 280oC and carbonisation at 1200oC. The carbonisation process has successfully converted the electrospun PAN into...
