Preferred Label : pitch-based carbon fibres;
IUPAC acronym : MPP; LM; HM;
IUPAC definition : Carbon fibres obtained from pitch precursor fibres after stabilization treatment,
carbonization and final heat treatment.;
Scope note : the term pitch-based carbon fibres comprises the isotropic pitch-based carbon fibres
as well as the anisotropic mesophase pitch-based carbon fibres (mpp-based carbon fibres).
the isotropic type belongs to the carbon fibres type lm (low modulus) and is mainly
used as filler in polymers and insulation materials and for similar applications.
the anisotropic type (mpp-based carbon fibres) belongs to the carbon fibres type hm
and is used mainly for reinforcement purposes due to its high young's modulus value.;
