Abstract
Rayon fibres were pyrolysed under inert gas flows up to 1200 degreesC. Chan ges in the mechanical properties of the fibres at various stages of the the rmal treatment were studied and correlated with structural analyses of the char by CP/MAS C-13 NMR and DRIFT spectroscopies. The force/displacement cu rve of fibres pyrolysed at 500 degreesC is non-linear but reversible within the deformation, which is approximately 10% at ultimate failure. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
