MODIFICATION OF CONTINUOUS CARBON FIBERS DURING MANUFACTURING FOR COMPOSITES HAVING ENHANCED MOLDABILITY
Methods of producing continuous carbon fibers for composites having enhanced moldability are provided. Discrete regions are introduced into a continuous precursor fiber comprising an acrylic polymer material, such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN) during carbon fiber manufacture. Laser energy may be applied to the precursor fiber while it is in an oven or furnace to create heterogeneous fibers with discrete regions where laser energy is applied. In other aspects, mechanical pressure may be intermittently applied to create the discrete regions. After the continuous precursor fiber is fully heated for carbonization and/or graphitization, the precursor forms a continuous carbon fiber having a plurality of discrete weak regions. These relatively weak regions provide noncontiguous break points that reduce stiffness and improve moldability for carbon fiber polymeric composites, while retaining high strength levels. Carbon fiber polymeric composites incorporating continuous carbon fibers having the plurality of discrete noncontiguous weak regions are also provided.
