An Investigation Of The Structure Of Polyacrylonitrile

It was the purpose of this study (1) to investigate the sorption of N,N-dimethylformide, DMF, by polyacrylonitrile fibers and films and correlate the observations with its structure; (2) to determine the type of intermolecular forces existing in polyacrylonitrile; (3) to study changes in the structure of polyacrylonitrile, PAN, as a function of the temperature; (4) to employ kinetics of iodine sorption for determining the structure and intermolecular forces existing in polyacrylonitrile; and (5) to correlate all the information obtained with the new structural model.
