1. About Mesophase Pitch-based Carbon Fibers
Mesophase pitch-based carbon fiber (MPCF) is processed by a series of processes such as spinning, oxidation, carbonization, and graphitization, using mesophase pitch, a material that is easy to graphitize, as a precursor. The lamellar macromolecules composed of carbon elements are aligned along the fiber axis, and the fibers are in a highly graphitized state, showing excellent macroscopic properties such as high modulus, high thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, electromagnetic shielding, damping, and low thermal expansion coefficient. The modulus can reach more than 900GPa, and the thermal conductivity can reach 1200w/m﹒k or more.
As a reinforcing material, MPCF endows the composite material with high mechanical properties, and the parts are not prone to brittle cracking, breakage, deformation and other problems under harsh conditions such as high temperature and high pressure;
The thermal conductivity of MPCF is greater than 1200W/m﹒K, the thermal conductivity of the processed carbon/carbon composite material is greater than 700W/m﹒K;
The thermal expansion coefficient of MPCF is low, and the overall expansion coefficient of the composite material can be close to 0 through reasonable design;
The ash content of MPCF is close to 0, which avoids the interference of impurity elements on the process, and can produce high-purity, large-size silicon crystals;
The product forms are diversified, which can meet the needs of different processes and application scenarios.
