Abstract

A process for electrolytically treating the surface of a carbon fiber without using a surface treatment bath, comprising forming a flow of an electrolyte solution in the form of a liquid film or column at at least one anode and at at least one cathode which alternate along the direction of the length of the carbon fiber, and passing carbon fiber strands through the flows of the electrolyte solution to apply electric current to the carbon fiber strands.
