摘要

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is among the most promising precursor polymers to produce strong and lightweight carbon fiber. Conformations in solution and the extent of binding to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are critical during gel spinning and for alignment of graphitic layers upon carbonization. Here, quantitative insights into these processes are reported using molecular dynamics simulations at the atomic scale including virtual pi electrons and comparisons to experimental data. Common solvents for fiber spinning induce significant differences in PAN conformation in dilute solutions at 25 degrees C with persistence lengths between 0.5 and 2 nm. Variations in conformation become smaller at 75 degrees C, in the presence of CNTs, and at higher PAN concentration. "Aging" of PAN conformations in dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide at higher temperature is explained and a correlation between extended polymer conformations and increased binding to CNTs is identified in dilute solutions. PAN is overall barely attracted to CNTs under common solution conditions and enters significant surface contact only at higher concentration as solvent is physically removed. The impact of temperature is small, whereby binding increases at lower temperatures. The results provide guidance to control interactions of polymers with CNTs to induce distinct conformations and specific binding at the early stages of assembly.
