Abstract

The blending of polymers provides a method of obtaining materials with improved property from the parent compounds. This review focused on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) blends, its applications, the recycling possibility of PAN and its environmental impact. The review is also intended to shed insight into rPAN materials recycling possibility for domestic, industrial and manufacturing applications. It will also assist in the understanding and production of PAN and rPAN based products.
