We have reported successful manufacture of carbon fibers at laboratory scale, via processing a 100 filament polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor tow through a continuous carbonization line, with tensile strength and tensile modulus of up to 5.8 and 375 GPa, respectively [6] Although there has been considerable enhancement in the tensile strength of carbon fibers from about 3.5 GPa in T300 type of carbon fibers to up to 7 GPa in IM10 carbon fiber over last few decades, the highest tensile strength achieved is <10% of the theoretical strength of carboncarbon bond [7,8].
