Abstract
Abstract An improved process is provided for the simultaneous conversion of a plurality of adjoining parallel ends of an organic polymeric fibrous material to a carbonaceous fibrous material. The parallel warp ends are provided and maintained during at least a portion of the conversion process an an integral tape possessing a high degree of structural integrity by the presence of a weft pick interlaced therewith in a sateen weave construction which floats a substantial number of the parallel warp ends as described. When the resulting carbonaceous tape is incorporated in a matrix material to form a composite article, the presence of the weft pick therein produces no substantial diminution in the composite properties.
