Abstract
Infusible cured phenolic resin fibers of the present invention have a birefringence of at least 2.times.10.sup.-3 with the x-ray diffraction pattern of the fibers showing an amorphous halo. The tenacity of infusible cured phenolic resin fibers is significantly increased by subjecting the fibers to sufficient longitudinal tension as to cause at least about 30% elongation of the fibers. The Young's modulus of elasticity of the fibers is also significantly increased thereby. Preferably the resulting stretched infusible cured phenolic resin fibers have a tenacity of at least about 4 g./den.
