Polyacrylonitrile

                 

  • PAN stands for Polyacrylonitrile is a synthetic, semi crystalline organic polymer resin, with the structure of linear formula is (C3H3N)n.
  • Synonyms of Polyacrylonitrile are 2-Propenenitrile, Homopolymer, Acrylonitrile polymer.
  • Raw material of Polyacrylonitrile are acrylonitrile and monomers. The production of PAN are based on free radical polymerization of Acrylonitrile.
  • It is usually used to make other polymers like, carbon fiber and the raw material of carbon fiber is PAN.
