Abstract Outgassing experiments have been performed on a variety of polyacrylonitrile- and rayon-based carbon yarns. Major residual impurities, as well as those introduced from surface treatments, have been identified. Sulphur has been shown to be a major impurity of rayon-based carbon fibres, with concentrations up to 3110 ppm by weight having been determined by neutron-activation analyses. Removal of this contaminant as a volatile material commences at approximately 1300° C. Interrelationships between sulphur removal and mechanical and crystallographic properties have been considered for one rayon-based carbon yarn. Decreases in both interlayer spacing and tensile strength are associated with sulphur evolution, whereas apparent crystallite size and Young's modulus are unaffected by the outgassing.
