Abstract

The objects studied are oxidized poly-acrylonitryl fibres and carbon fibres prepared at the University “Prof. Dr. Assen Zlatarov”- Bourgas from a poly-acrylonitryl fibre 6K product of Courtaulds Ltd, England and fibres chemically metalized with nickel and copper. Combined thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy and elemental analysis were carried out with thermally treated and non-treated samples. The effect of the deposited thin metal layer on the thermal stability, structural and other physical characteristics of the fibres and non-woven carbon textile were studied. The effective kinetic parameters of the thermo-oxidative destruction of the samples and the most probable mechanisms of the thermo chemical reactions were determined under the experimental conditions..
