Abstract
Disclosed is an acrylic fiber composed of an acrylonitrile homopolymer or copolymer whose surface consists of particulate and/or microfibrillar structures having a width of 0.01 to 0.5 .mu.m and a length of 0.05 to 10 .mu.m and fibrillar structures formed by aggregation of the particulate and/or microfibrillar structures and having a width of 0.1 to 10 .mu.m and a length of at least 50 .mu.m. The fiber is prepared by spinning a dope of an acrylonitrile homopolymer or copolymer in a solvent at a draft ratio of at least 5 into a coagulating bath comprising a solvent and a coagulant and having a composition such that a skin layer is not formed on the coagulated fiber; taking up the coagulated fiber from the coagulating bath so that the retention time in the coagulating bath is within 60 seconds; and then drawing the fiber in a drawing bath comprising a solvent and a coagulant and having a coagulating property to the dope and a composition such that a skin layer is not formed on the fiber.
