Conventional technology and problems to be solved by the invention Carbon/carbon composite materials are materials that have unique properties such as maintaining high strength and high modulus of elasticity even at high temperatures of 1000°C or higher, and having a small coefficient of thermal expansion. It is expected to be used in aerospace equipment parts, brakes, furnace materials, etc. Carbonaceous pitch is used as a matrix precursor for carbon/carbon composite materials, but if one with a low softening point is used, the carbonization yield will decrease, and volatile components generated during carbonization will cause fine particles to form in the matrix. Generates bubbles. On the other hand, if a material with a high softening point is used, uniform impregnation into the carbon fiber bundle becomes difficult. Various efforts have been made to avoid these problems, but the manufacturing process is complicated and takes a long time, resulting in high costs.
