Figure 9
(a) Diamond-shaped SAXS pattern from a solution-spun polyacrylonitrile (PAN). (b) Propeller-shaped pattern from a gel-spun PAN fiber. (c) Fan-shaped diffraction pattern from micro-voids in oriented bundles of γ-irradiated polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers. Linear fitting of the linearized intensity plot for (d) the diamond-like pattern shown in (a), and a superposition of two implied ellipses (e) for the propeller-like pattern shown in (b). (f) Illustration of how the misorientation-dominated fan pattern arises. In these figures, Sx and Sz correspond to x and zo in equations (1) and (2) and Fig. 8.
