Publication date 2014 ISSN 2050-7496 Summary We report on the use of ionic liquid co-solvents in the preparation of polyacrylonitrile–natural polymer carbon fibers as low cost environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional carbon fibers precursors and processing solvents. We have characterized the structure properties of the new composites as a function of dissolving solvent using solid state NMR, DSC, FTIR and TGA. We show that the dissolving solvent plays a significant role in the properties of the new composites, we also find that the incorporation of the natural polymer additive impacts the thermal transition temperatures for the PAN Language eng DOI 10.1039/c3ta15227h Field of Research 039999 Chemical Sciences not elsewhere classified Socio Economic Objective 970103 Expanding Knowledge in the Chemical Sciences HERDC Research category C1 Refereed article in a scholarly journal Persistent URL http://hdl.handle.net/10536/DRO/DU:30064317 Document type: Journal Article Collection: Institute for Frontier Materials Related Links Link Description Connect to published version (restricted access) Go to link with your DU access privileges     Unless expressly stated otherwise, the copyright for items in DRO is owned by the author, with all rights reserved.
