A model detailing the development of morphology in copolymer PAN (polyacrylonitrile) fibers during oxidative stabilization was recently proposed (Gupta and-Harrison, Carbon, 1996, 34, 1427). Some of the main features of this model are: (a) a two-step oxidative stabilization process wherein reactions initiate in the amorphous phase, and progress to the crystalline phase at high temperatures; (b) intramolecular cyclization reactions dominating the early part of the stabilization process, intermolecular cross-linking occurring at higher temperatures and in the presence of oxygen; (c) macroscopic shrinkage along the fiber axis primarily being an entropy-driven process, with ''chemical'' effects serving to modify the entropic response; and (d) a final heat treatment temperature (HTT) of similar to 380 degrees C seemed to be necessary in order to effect complete oxidative stabilization. In the current work, results from tensile testing and X-ray experiments help in validating the proposed model. Studies on isothermal stabilization indicate no benefits when compared to a rapid and more effective constant temperature ramp process. Additionally, for stabilization in argon, dehydrogenation is a slow process, leading us to believe that stretching of precursor fiber could be carried out over a wide temperature range.
