Abstract

A composition for an optically anisotropic carbonaceous pitch suitable for the production of a carbon material having a high tensile strength and a high modulus of elasticity. The composition comprises about 2 to 20 percent by weight of a first, n-heptane-soluble component, about 15 to 45 percent by weight of an n-heptane-insoluble and benzene-soluble, second component and the balance of the composition including benzene-insoluble components. The composition has a volume ratio of an optically anisotropic phase of at least about 90% and a softening point of up to about 320.degree. C.
