The electrolytic treatment method of the present invention treats carbon fibers by intermittent power supply.
Surface treatment can be done efficiently in a short time. In addition, by repeating intermittent power supply, the surface of the carbon fiber is gradually oxidized and becomes hydrophilic, so the initial current value when energized increases accordingly, and the amount of bound oxygen on the surface of the carbon fiber increases. . As a result, the compatibility with the resin matrix improves, which has the advantage of making it possible to produce strong composite materials.
