Type P-VS-0053 (Union Carbide) Carbon Fiber
Categories: Polymer; Thermoset; Carbon Fiber/Thermoset Composite

Material Notes: Pitch fibers are prepared by heating aromatic compounds above 350°C. A dehydrogenation condensation reaction occurs to form planar aromatic molecules which aggregate into a liquid crystalline phase (a mesophase). Once the mesophase content has reached about 40%, a phase inversion occurs and this anisotropic material becomes the continuous phase.
