(PAN) Polyacrylonitrile

Goodfellow offers high-quality polyacrylonitrile (PAN) in powder form for advanced applications in research and industry. PAN is characterized by its excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and ability to form high-strength fibers. These properties make PAN particularly valuable in industries such as textiles, aerospace, and filtration. In the textile sector, PAN is used as a precursor for carbon fiber production, which is crucial for lightweight, high-strength composites. The aerospace industry utilizes PAN-based carbon fibers in structural components of aircraft and spacecraft, benefiting from their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. In filtration applications, PAN fibers are employed in high-performance air and water filters due to their chemical stability and fine fiber diameter. Emerging technologies leveraging PAN include advanced energy storage systems and next-generation protective clothing. Goodfellow's provision of PAN supports ongoing research in materials science, particularly in the development of carbon-based materials and high-performance fibers. The unique properties of PAN make it invaluable in both scientific research and industrial contexts where thermal stability and strength are paramount.
