Carbon fiber based on PAN refers to carbon fibers that are derived from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor materials. The use of PAN as the precursor material for carbon fibers is favored due to several factors, including its high carbon yield, excellent mechanical properties, and the ability to produce carbon fibers with high tensile strength and modulus. Carbon fibers derived from PAN exhibit superior mechanical properties, such as high tensile strength, stiffness, and resistance to deformation. These characteristics make PAN-based carbon fibers highly desirable for applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, wind energy, sports equipment, and various other high-performance applications.
The global carbon fiber market based on PAN precursor materials was experiencing steady growth. However, as market conditions can change rapidly, I recommend referring to the latest industry reports or market analysis for the most up-to-date information. These reports usually provide a comprehensive overview of the global carbon fiber market, including its size, growth prospects, key players, and regional dynamics.
