The present invention aims at preventing or reducing the lowering in mechanical characteristics of a carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite due to stress orientation caused by the use of a thermosetting resin as a carbon matrix precursor resin to thereby obtain a carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite improved in mechanical characteristics, and for attaining this aim, provides a process for the preparation of a carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite which comprises impregnating a carbon fiber with a bismaleimide-triazine copolymer resin instead of the sizing agent and thermoplastic resin which have been used conventionally and heating the resulting impregnated carbon fiber in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to carbonize or graphitize the resin. Further, the present invention provides also a process for the preparation of a carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite which is characterized in that a bismaleimide-triazine copolymer resin is used as the sizing agent to be applied prior to the impregnation of a carbon fiber with a thermosetting agent to thereby prevent or reduce the lowering in mechanical characteristics due to stress orientation of the carbon matrix formed or derived from the conventional thermosetting resin. |
