Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The focus of this review is primarily on the sequence of structural changes at micro and molecular level during carbonization of cellulosic fibres. The influence of various operational parameters such as the pyrolytic temperature and the stabilization agents also discussed as is the effect of the initial properties of the cellulose fibre on the final properties of the carbon fibre.
