Polyacrylonitrile
From Plastics Wiki, free encyclopedia
(Redirected from PAN)
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is a resinous, fibrous, or rubbery organic polymer. Almost all polyacrylonitrile resins are copolymers made from mixtures of monomers; with acrylonitrile as the main component. PAN fibers are the chemical precursor of high-quality carbon fiber. It is chemically modified to make the carbon fibers found in tennis rackets & high-tech bicycles.
