  • Carbon fiber bundle and method of manufacturing same
    Patent number: 11286583
    Abstract: A carbon fiber bundle is characterized in that a ratio (n/N) of a number n of pairs wherein a flaw of 50 nm in size or more is present on at least one of the fracture surfaces forming the pair to a total number N of pairs of fiber fracture surfaces selected at random after performing a single fiber tensile test for a gauge length of 10 mm is 35% or less, and in that a single-fiber diameter d is 4.3 ?m or more.
    Type: Grant

  • Sizing-coated carbon fiber bundle, thermoplastic resin composition, molded body, method for manufacturing sizing-coated carbon fiber bundle, and method for manufacturing molded body
    Patent number: 10738171
    Abstract: Provided is a sizing-coated carbon fiber bundle that exhibits good spreadability in a step for spreading sizing-coated carbon fibers even in the case in which said carbon fibers exhibit a high adhesiveness with respect to a thermoplastic resin. Provided is a sizing-coated carbon fiber bundle that contains, as sizing components, at least a compound (A) containing an amino group or an amide group.

  • COAGULATED YARN AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, CARBON FIBER PRECURSOR FIBER, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING CARBON FIBER
    Publication number: 20190194829
    Abstract: A coagulated yarn, which is used to manufacture carbon fiber, is a coagulated yarn the surface hole diameter of which is 30 nm or less and the degree of swelling is less than 100% or a coagulated yarn the surface hole diameter of which is 30 nm or less and the inner hole diameter is 30 nm or less. The carbon fiber precursor fiber and the carbon fiber are obtained using such a coagulated yarn.
