PAN-based carbon fibres

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008429",
  "term": "PAN-based carbon fibres",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Carbon fibers produced from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursors through a series of thermal treatments, including stabilization and carbonization. These fibers are widely used in advanced composites due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness. They are a dominant type of carbon fiber in the aerospace and defense industries.",
