Note:
Rayon-based carbon fibres have a more isotropic structure than similarly heat-treated polyacrylonitrile (PAN)- or
mesophase pitch (MPP)-based carbon fibres.
Their Young's modulus values are therefore drastically lower
(

Rayon-based carbon fibres can be transformed into anisotropic carbon fibres with high
strength and Young's modulus values by hot-stretching treatment at temperatures of approximately
