Medical tubing used in minimally invasive devices presents a number of design considerations depending on the material used, design requirements (such as sufficient stiffness, flexibility and biocompatibility) and processing conditions. Currently, manufacturing industries adopt co-extrusion systems to meet design specifications, by using multilayer configuration leading to higher cost per device and increased complexity. This paper investigates the mechanical performance of nanocomposites using supercritical carbon dioxide assisted polymer processing technique. The use of innovative medical compounds such as PEBAX graphene nanocomposites have resulted in measurable improvements in mechanical properties. This study also presents the effect of supercritical carbon dioxide on the mechanical and physical properties of the polymer matrix. The mechanical properties have been investigated using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and mechanical tensile test, where sufficient reinforcement was observed depending on the composition of graphene within PEBAX matrix. ATR-FTIR was used to further analyze the effect of supercritical carbon dioxide and interactions within the polymer composite matrix.

Hot-drawing of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers is an important step in the production of carbon fibers. In this article, we investigated the effect of strain on the crystallization behavior and mechanical properties of PAN fibers treated in supercritical carbon dioxide (Sc-CO2) fluid. We mainly used the methods of X-ray diffraction (XRD), monofilament strength analysis and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) to study the crystallization behavior, mechanical properties and thermal behavior of PAN fibers during hot-drawing process. The experimental results showed that the crystallinity and mechanical properties of PAN fibers both increased a lot under the action of strain during hot-drawing in Sc-CO2 fluid. This provides an important method for preparation of higher performance PAN precursor for PAN-based carbon fibers.
