  • Carbon fiber bundle
    Patent number: 6569523
    Abstract: The carbon fiber precursor fiber bundle of the present invention is an acrylonitrile-based fiber bundle wherein the ratio of the length and width of the fiber cross section of a monofilament (length/width) is 1.05 to 1.6, and the amount of Si measured by ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) atomic emission spectrometry is in the range of 500 to 4,000 ppm. This type of carbon fiber precursor fiber bundle has a high compactness, and the carbonizing processing ability is good. Furthermore, for the carbon fiber bundle which is to obtained hereafter, the resin impregnating ability and tow spreading ability are good, the strength increases, and it has bulkiness. Furthermore, the carbon fiber precursor fiber bundle of the present invention is an acrylonitrile-based fiber bundle wherein the liquid content ratio HW is 40 wt. % or more and less than 60 wt. %.
