Abstract
Provided is a method for splitting a carbon fiber tow, which comprises heating a carbon fiber tow sized with a first sizing material to soften the first sizing material and form a spread carbon fiber tow; passing the spread carbon fiber tow through at least one splitter and corresponding cutter to obtain multiple carbon fiber strands spaced apart; and sizing the carbon fiber strands with a second sizing material. With the method, multiple small carbon fiber tows having better tensile strength and/or modulus than the commercially available small carbon fiber tow products can be obtained. Products made of the small carbon fiber tows obtained by the present invention are lighter but stronger, and the production cost is relatively reduced. The present invention also achieves the purpose of energy saving and carbon reduction.
