Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A carbon fiber bundle, wherein an average single-fiber fineness is from 1.0 to 2.4 dtex and a roundness is from 0.7 to 0.9 in a shape of a cross-section perpendicular to a fiber axis of a single fiber; the roundness being determined with equation (1): roundness=4πS/L 2 , where S is a cross-sectional area of the single fiber and L is a circumferential length of the single fiber, and S and L are obtained by observing, under an SEM, the cross-section of the single fiber perpendicular to the fiber axis of the single fiber and analyzing the obtained image.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A carbon fiber bundle, wherein an average single-fiber fineness is from 1.0 to 2.4 dtex and a roundness is from 0.7 to 0.9 in a shape of a cross-section perpendicular to a fiber axis of a single fiber, and wherein a strand tensile strength is 4000 MPa or more. 2. The carbon fiber bundle according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter Di of the cross-section perpendicular to the fiber axis of the single fiber is from 8 to 20 μm. 3. The carbon fiber bundle according to claim 1 , having a plurality of groove-shaped concavo-convex structures extending in a lengthwise direction of the single fiber on a surface of the single fiber and a difference in height between a highest part and a lowest part of a circumference length of 2 μm of the single fiber is 80 nm or less. 4. The carbon fiber bundle according to claim 1 , wherein a strand tensile elastic modulus is 200 GPa or more. 5. The carbon fiber bundle according to claim 1 , wherein a total fineness is from 30000 to 90000 dtex. 6. The carbon fiber bundle according to claim 1 , having a plurality of groove-shaped concavo-convex structures extending in a lengthwise direction of the single fiber on a surface of the single fiber and a difference in height between a highest part and a lowest part of a circumference length of 2 μm of the single fiber is 50 nm to 80 nm.
