The process starts with a preparation step that converts the pitch into mesophase pitch. The mesophase pitch is then stabilized and passes through carbonization, graphitization, surface treatment and sizing, before being wound. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Fibers, 5.
