Process for producing a carbon fiber from pitch material.

摘要

A process for producing a carbon fiber from pitch material, which comprises melt spinning pitch material through spinning nozzles to form precursory pitch fibers and oiling the precursory pitch fibers, followed by infusible treatment and carbonization and optionally by graphitization, characterized in that an oiling agent composed essentially of a silicone oil is applied to the precursory pitch fibers prior to or during the oiling operation.
