Abstract
The effect of carbonization rate in a wide range (1, 100 and 1000°C/min) on the properties of a PAN/phenolic-based carbon/carbon (C/C) composite was studied. The results indicated that the composite processed at a higher carbonization rate had a higher porosity level, more large pores and a more graphitic structure than that processed at a lower carbonization rate. After second graphitization the bending properties of composites carbonized at 1°C/min and 1000°C/min were comparable. The composite carbonized at 1000°C/min had the highest fracture energy. The composite carbonized at 100°C/min showed the worst mechanical performance among three. The large increase in carbonization rate can be beneficial to the industry from an economic point of view.
