Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method for producing a carbon fiber bundle, the method including steps (b) to (e) described below: (b) an oil agent application step of applying a silicone oil agent to a precursor fiber bundle to produce an oil-agent-attached precursor fiber bundle; (d) a stabilization step of subjecting the oil-agent-attached precursor fiber bundle to an oxidization treatment to produce an oxidized fiber bundle; and (e) a carbonization step of carbonizing the oxidized fiber bundle, wherein the silicone oil agent has a skin over time at 250° C. of less than 40 minutes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a carbon fiber bundle, the method comprising steps (b), (d), and (e) described below: (b) an oil agent application step of applying a silicone oil agent to a precursor fiber bundle to produce an oil-agent-attached precursor fiber bundle; (d) a stabilization step of subjecting the oil-agent-attached precursor fiber bundle to an oxidization treatment to produce an oxidized fiber bundle; and (e) a carbonization step of carbonizing the oxidized fiber bundle, wherein the silicone oil agent has a skin over time at 250° C. of less than 40 minutes. 2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising, before the oil agent application step, (a) a preheating step of preheating the precursor fiber bundle at 200 to 250° C. 3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising, after the oil agent application step and before the stabilization step, (c) a heating step of heating the oil-agent-attached precursor fiber bundle at 150 to 200° C. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the silicone oil agent is a silicone oil agent containing an amino-modified silicone having a reactive terminal. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the silicone oil agent is an oil-in-water emulsion. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the silicone oil agent contains a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether containing a polyoxyalkylene including both an ethylene oxide unit and a propylene oxide unit, and an alkyl group, and the polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether has a ratio of number of ethylene oxide units/number of propylene oxide units of 2 to 20. 7. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising, after the oil agent application step and before the stabilization step, (c) a heating step of heating the oil-agent-attached precursor fiber bundle at 150 to 200° C.
