<p>A method of producing carbon fibers, in which the producing method comprises allowing a supported type catalyst and a carbon atom-containing compound to come in contact with each other in a heating zone, wherein the supported type catalyst is prepared by a method comprising impregnation of a powdery carrier with colloid containing catalyst to support particles of the catalyst on the powdery carrier having a specifically developed crystal plane such as a powdery carrier being 4 or more in the ratio (I 1 /I 2 ) of the intensity I 1 of the strongest peak to the intensity I 2 of the second strongest peak observed in X-ray diffraction, or a powdery carrier having the ratio (I 1 /I 2 ) of the intensity I 1 of the strongest peak to the intensity I 2 of the second strongest peak observed in X-ray diffraction of 1.5 times or more the ratio (I 1s /I 2s ) of the intensity I 1s of the strongest peak to the intensity I 2s of the second strongest peak described in JCPDS. A composite material is prepared by blending the carbon fibers prepared by the method with, for example, a resin.</p> |
