Polyacrylonitrile, co-polymer with 6% methyl acrylate (MW ~80,000)

This polyacrylonitrile (PAN) co-polymer incorporates 6% methyl acrylate, which improves flexibility, processability, and solubility compared to pure PAN. The nitrile groups provide chemical resistance and high tensile strength, while methyl acrylate enhances impact resistance and reduces brittleness.

Applications:

Carbon Fiber Precursors: Serves as an improved precursor for high-performance carbon fibers.
Filtration & Membranes: Used in ultrafiltration and gas separation membranes.
Textile & Fibers: Enhances dyeability and softness in synthetic fiber production.
