Abstract
The interior microstructures of polyacrylonitrile nascent fibers is studied by the scanning electronic microscopy and the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy through ultrasonic etching and ultrathin sectioning. Due to the orientation and fold of molecular chains, the lamellae of 50–80 nm in thickness are formed. A high number of pores, ranging from dozens to two hundred nanometers in diameters exist between the lamellae, which result from residual solvent. The fibril structure is formed in the nascent fiber during the coagulation process, which are oriented along the fiber axis. An uneven tensile stress distribution leads to the formation of skin-core structures in the nascent fiber during the dry-jet wet spinning process.
