Process for producing conductive graphite fiber.

摘要

A process for producing a graphite fiber is disclosed, which is characterized by using, as a starting material, an optically anisotropic pitch prepared from a compound having a specific chemical structure as represented by formula (I). The resulting graphite fiber shows a highly developed graphite structure and has excellent electrical conductivity. <CHEM> R : H, CH3 m : integer of 1 or more. r
