PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CARBON FIBERS HAVING A HIGH YOUNG'S MODULUS OF ELASTICITY

摘要

Carbon fibers having a high Young's modulus are produced by a process which comprises longitudinally stressing partially carbonized cellulosic base fibers by means of an applied tensional force while concurrently subjecting them to a carbonizing treatment. The resultant stress carbonized fibers can then be subjected to a stress graphitizing treatment, if desired.
