High-frequency dielectric analysis of carbon nanofibers from pan precursor at different pyrolysis temperatures
Carbon nanofibers (CNF) produced from pyrolysis of electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor has received a great amount of attention due to their promising potentials. However, there are limited studies on the electrical properties of the CNF, especially at high-frequency range. In this study,...

Carbon nanofibers (CNF) produced from pyrolysis of electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor has received a great amount of attention due to their promising potentials.

Characterizations of the nanofibers were carried out in terms of physical, dielectric, and chemical properties. The stabilization of nanofibers took place at 240°C whilst carbonization process took place at temperatures of 800°C, 1000°C, and 1200°C, respectively. In terms of physical properties, the color of the nanofiber webs changed from white to brown and black, after stabilization and carbonization process accompanied by significant reduction in average fiber diameter.
