Data have been used from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, IR Fourier spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy, and other current methods for polyacrylonitrile, polypyromellitimide, hydrated cellulose, hard coals, and various model compounds to examine the effects of the nitrogen atoms on carbonization and graphitization. The nitrogen atoms are found to have multiple effects on the thermochemical and thermophysical parameters of the polymer carbonization over a wide temperature range. In the derivation of the carbon structures, the nitrogen acts as a messenger combined agent, which gives rise to heterorings, which are transformed into intermediate aromatic compounds, which form the basis of the matrix synthesis consisting of ordered graphite-type structures.
