Abstract
The invention provides a polyacrylonitrile fiber having a tensile strength above 13 g/d and a modulus of elasticity above 2.4.times.10.sup.11 dyne/cm.sup.2, which is useful for tire cords, fiber-reinforced composite materials, precursors for producing carbon fiber, etc. The fiber is produced by integrally combining technical means which comprise using a polymer composed mainly of acrylonitrile whose weight average molecular weight is more than 400,000 and Mw/Mn ratio is less than 7.0; preparing a spinning solution from the polymer; spinning the solution into filaments; subjecting the resulting filaments to multistage stretching; and drying the filaments, all these steps being conducted under particular conditions.
