Synergistic effects of dope non-solvent concentration and jet draw ratio of
poly(acrylonitrile) on as-spun fibre void structure and tensile properties were
investigated and rationalized based on a modified designing index, namely
CXrrJ. The notations C, X, and T] are the non-solvent diffusion coefficient normalized
by the solvent diffusion coefficient through the proto-fibre, a parameter defined by solubility
differences among the system components and jet elongation viscosity, respectively.
An increase of dope non-solvent concentration enhanced CXrr1 leading to
minute porosity decrease. On the other hand, the simultaneous dope non-solvent concentration
and draw ratio increases up to 5 vol% and 4, led to reduction of CXrr l and
therefore to severe fibre porosity . The modulus-porosity relationship of the free drawn
fibres were best fitted with the Wangיs second order equation E =Eoe-(ap+bp2) (R2 =
0.96) and hence assigned to liquid -liquid de-mixing as the governing phase separation
mechanism. On the other hand, the mechan ical behaviour/porosity of proto-fibre containing
non-solvent in their dope and drawn with the draw ratio value of 4 was best fitted
with the Eshpriegיs first order equation, E =Eoe-ap (R2 = 0.97) and accordingly
assigned to the solid-liquid based phase separation . Where Eo and p are modulus of
the virgin sample and its porosity , respect ively, while a, and b are the Eshprieg יs and
Wangי s equation constants.
