Carbon fiber structure and process for producing the same.

摘要

An infusibilized or infusibilized and slightly carbonized fiber of optically anisotropic pitch type is combined with a phenolic resin fiber to produce a high bulk density carbon fiber structure in the form of a laminate of mutually entangled carbon fiber sheets with improved handleability of fiber sheets and improved stability of a laminate structure formed through entanglement. A high flexural strength carbon-carbon composite material with a high volume fiber content is produced by impregnation with a precursor of carbon and subsequent carbonization of the carbon fiber structure of the kind as described above or a fiber laminate of mutually entangled sheets of the infusibilized or infusibilized and slightly carbonized fiber of optically anisotropic pitch type blended with the phenolic resin fiber.
