Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0372931A2] A high modulus, pitch-based, continuous carbon fiber has a density above about 2.18 g/cc, an electrical resistivity below about 1.6 micro-ohm-meter, and a density greater than 2.18 g/cc. This carbon fiber may be made by a process comprising the steps of: (a) melt-spinning a mesophase pitch having a softening point above about 345<o>C, said melt-spinning being conducted at a temperature above about 395<o>C, to form a plurality of continuous pitch fibers, (b) infusibilizing said pitch fibers by a treatment with aqueous nitric acid; and (c) carbonizing the infusibilized pitch fibers by a thermal treatment conducted in a substantially inert gas atmosphere to a final temperature above about 3000<o>C. After step b) a first heating step in the range of 1000-1600<o>C may be applied. o
