Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A plated fiber that is obtained by applying a metal plating onto a fiber having an elongation percentage which is more than or equal to 1% and less than or equal to 10%. An elongation percentage of the metal plating is higher than the elongation percentage of the fiber. A carbon fiber wherein the surface oxygen amount as a value obtained by dividing an O1S peak intensity measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy by a C1S peak intensity measured by the spectroscopy is more than or equal to 0.097 and less than or equal to 0.138.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A plated fiber obtained by applying a metal plating onto a fiber having an elongation percentage which is more than or equal to 1% and less than or equal to 10%, wherein an elongation percentage of a metal constituting the metal plating is higher than the elongation percentage of the fiber, a gradient of a tensile load relative to the elongation percentage of the fiber is greater than a gradient of a tensile load at the time of reaching maximum elongation percentage in an elastic region of the metal constituting the metal plating, relative to the maximum elongation percentage, after applying the metal plating onto the fiber, the metal plating is subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature of more than or equal to 100° C. and less than 200° C. for a predetermined period of time yielding the elongation percentage of the metal constituting the metal plating of more than or equal to 8.5% and less than 24.1%, and the fiber is a para-type aramid fiber or polyarylate fiber. 2. A wire harness comprising an electric wire using the plated fiber according to claim 1 as a conductor part, the conductor part being coated with an insulator. 3. A method for producing the plated fiber according to claim 1 , comprising: applying a heat treatment to the metal plating.
