using Ti substrates, similar values were also reached at lower temperatures of 800 °C for Polymers 2022, 14, 721 the Cu substrate and even for 500 °C for the Si substrate. Measuring ID/IG after incipient carbonization at 500 °C in an aluminum sandwich resulted in a value of approx. 1.2 [23], i.e., a lower crystallinity than found for the materials used in the recent study. It can be concluded that the metal substrate, possibly through catalytic activity in the pyrolysis re‐ action, has a significant effect on the degree of crystallization of the CNF, which may allo6wof 8 similar results to be obtained at much lower temperature via substrate variation.

It has been observed that a higher sample thickness, i.e., spinning duration (cf. Figure 1B), stabilizes the CNF mats against macroscopic deformation and breaking. In this regard a (3.5 ± 0.8) μm thick nanofiber mat carbonized at 1200 ◦C on Figure 5. FTIR investigations of the stabilized and carbonized nanofibers: (A) stabilization on dif‐ 4. Conclusions PAN nanofiber mats were stabilized and subsequently carbonized at 500 ◦C, 800 ◦C and 1200 ◦C, sandwiched between different metal and metalloid substrates. For higher temperatures, a higher degree of carbonization and crystallinity was found. The highest nanofiber integrity was found for the Si substrate after carbonization at 500 ◦C, which was ferent substrates, (B) carbonization at 500 °C, and (C) carbonized at higher temperatures. different substrates, (B) carbonization at 500 C, and (C) carbonized at higher temperatures. a Ti substrate had mostly maintained its macroscopic appearance (cf.

Figure S1B in the supplementary materials). An even thinner specimen with (0.2 ± 0.1) μm completely folded in on itself and had no resemblance to the pristine nanofiber mat whatsoever. Apparently, a certain minimum thickness is necessary to maintain useful CNF after carbonization under these conditions.
