The application of cellulose nanowhiskers in polymeric composites is growing due to its good properties, which expands the applicability in the industrial sector, although many studies are still in the laboratory stage. Silva, R. et al. cites many segments for application of natural cellulosic fibers, wide applicability detaching, from textile industry to some studies for the use of fibers such...

Blends of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with three different sacrificial polymers: poly (acrylic acid) (PAA), (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and (styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN), were gel spun, oriented through the drawing process, stabilized carbonized to obtain porous carbon fibers. Carbon fibers an average pore diameter 15 nm, 31 37 nm 115 have been obtained from PAN-PAA (90/10), PAN-PMMA PAN-SAN (...
