Preferred Label : isotropic pitch-based carbon fibres;
IUPAC definition : Carbon fibres obtained by carbonization of isotropic pitch fibres after these have
been stabilized (i.e. made non-fusible).;
Scope note : during fabrication of isotropic pitch-based carbon fibres no means (neither mechanical
nor chemical) are applied to achieve preferred orientation of the polyaromatic molecules
in the fibre direction. they belong to the carbon fibres type lm (low modulus), and
because of the relatively low values of strength and young's modulus this pitch-based
carbon fibre type is not used for high-performance reinforcement purposes.;
