Abstract

See full text

A carbon-fiber-precursor acryl fiber bundle, including a polyacrylonitrile-based copolymer that contains from 95 to 99 mol % of an acrylonitrile unit and from 1 to 5 mol % of a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate unit, where the fiber bundle has a single-fiber fineness of from 1.5 dtex to 5.0 dtex and a roundness of from 0.75 to 0.9 in a cross-section shape perpendicular to a fiber axis of the single fiber; the roundness being determined with equation (1): roundness=4πS/L2, 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.
