Carbon fiber with high conductivity and manufacturing method thereof

The present invention relates to a carbon fiber made of thermally treated carbon-containing starting materials, where this carbon fiber has an electrical conductivity of at least 1 × 10 Furthermore, a method for producing these carbon fibers of the invention having a conductivity of at least 1 × 10 In this fiber, it is preferably one with a sub-micron diameter. Such fibers are particularly suitable for electrical conductors, capacitors or sensors.
