These fiber-like materials, made of a chemical called polyacrylonitrile, can be readily manipulated underwater and shaped ...

The KIST researchers, thus, have chemically immobilized alkaline molecules on the surface of polyacrylonitrile (PANF) fibres ...

THE pyrolysis of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) up to and above 1,000° C is of scientific and technological importance in view of the current interest in carbon fibres. The pyrolysis should be clearly ...

Korea relies on imports for most of its metal resources, and in recent years, due to resource depletion and rising raw ...

Using waste to purify water may sound counterintuitive. But at TU Wien, this is exactly what has now been achieved.

This nano-cellulose is "spun" together with the plastic polyacrylonitrile into nanostructures. However, this requires a lot ...

After the removal of excess monomer, the intercalation complex was heated to cause polymerization. The resulting kaolinite-polyacrylonitrile (PAN) intercalate showed a basal spacing of ∼ 13–14 Å. On ...
