A thermoplastic modacrylic resin composition includes a modacrylic resin and a plasticizer. The modacrylic resin includes 15 to 85 wt % of acrylonitrile, 15 to 85 wt % of vinyl chloride and/or vinylidene chloride, and 0 to 20 wt % of another vinyl monomer, and the plasticizer is an organic compound that is compatible with the modacrylic resin and has a boiling point of at least 200 C. A method for manufacturing a thermoplastic modacrylic resin composition includes melt-kneading a powder mixture obtained by mixing a modacrylic resin powder and an organic compound that is compatible with the modacrylic resin and has a boiling point of at least 200 C. Acrylic fibers are composed of a thermoplastic modacrylic resin composition.

An acrylic fiber for artificial hair includes an acrylic polymer and an organic solvent that can dissolve the acrylic polymer, wherein the acrylic polymer includes 29.5 to 79.5% by weight of acrylonitrile, 20 to 70% by weight of vinyl chloride and/or vinylidene chloride, and 0.5 to 5% by weight of a sulfonic acid-containing vinyl monomer with respect to a total weight of the acrylic polymer, and wherein a content of the organic solvent in the acrylic fiber is 0.1 to 3% by weight.

The invention relates to an improved process for forming a stabilised precursor that is suitable for the manufacture of carbon materials, such as carbon fibre. The process can convert a precursor comprising polyacrylonitrile into a stabilised precursor with greater efficiency. The invention also relates to a process for preparing a carbon fibre that utilises the stabilised precursor.
