Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for producing one or more carbon fiber precursor fibers, particularly by spinning a polymer solution, wherein the polymer has a polydispersity (PDI) of less than or equal to 2, in a coagulation bath with a jet stretch of about 5 to about 60. The one or more carbon fiber precursor fibers produced may be used for producing carbon fiber, typically carbon fiber used in manufacturing composite materials.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to resin-soluble thermoplastic veils for use in liquid resin infusion processes, methods of manufacturing resin-soluble thermoplastic veils for use in liquid resin infusion processes, and methods of manufacturing composite articles using resin-soluble thermoplastic veils for use in liquid resin infusion applications. The resin-soluble thermoplastic veils according to embodiments of the invention and of which function as a toughening agent in composites having the veil incorporated therein have improved characteristics including, but not limited to, increased uniformity and decreased thickness relative to prior art veils. These characteristics translate into improvements in the processing of a composite article including, but not limited to, a substantial or complete elimination in premature dissolution of the veil during cure.
