Extrusion Dwell Time and Its Effect on the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Pitch/LLDPE Blend Fibres
Mesophase pitch-based carbon fibres have excellent resistance to plastic deformation (up to 840 GPa); however, they have very low strain to failure (0.3) and are considered brittle.Hence, the development of pitch nanosculpt fibre precursors able to be plastically deformed without fracture is important.We have previously, successfully developed pitc
