PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbon nanofiber, improved in wettability to matrix material, and a manufacturing method for it, and a carbon fiber composite material using the carbon nanofiber. SOLUTION: This carbon fiber composite material is a carbon fiber composite material formed by uniformly dispersing carbon nanofibers 40 in elastomer 30. After the carbon nanofiber 40 is manufactured by vapor phase growth method, it is heat-treated at 1,100°C-1,600°C, which is higher than the reaction temperature in the vapor phase growth method.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbon nanofiber, a carbon nanofiber assembly, a method for producing the carbon nanofiber, a method for producing a carbon fiber composite material, and the carbon fiber composite material. SOLUTION: The method for producing the carbon fiber composite material incldes a first step and a second step. The first step produces a plurality of carbon nanofibers 80 by compressing a plurality of the first carbon nanofibers 60 produced by a vapor growth method. The second step produces the carbon fiber composite material by mixing the carbon nanofibers 80 with an elastomer and uniformly dispersing the carbon nanofibers in the elastomer with a shearing force. The multiple first carbon nanofibers 60 contains the first carbon nanofibers 60 having branched part. The compression treatment cuts the first carbon nanofibers 60 at the branched point.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene composite material having excellent abrasion resistance, elastic modulus, and impact resistance at the same time, and capable of being used in a region requiring abrasion resistance as an artificial joint, and to provide a method for manufacturing the same.SOLUTION: An ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene composite material is obtained by pressurizing and heating a mixture containing ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene and carbon nanotube and molding the mixture in a prescribed shape. The molecular weight of polyethylene on an interface between the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene and the carbon nanotube is smaller than the molecular weight of the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem in the conventional method for manufacturing carbon nanotubes, in which multi-walled carbon nanotubes obtained by a vapor phase growth method are subjected to a heat treatment at a high temperature higher than the formation temperature of the carbon nanotubes. SOLUTION: When carbon nanotubes are manufactured by a catalytic vapor-phase growth method comprising circulating a carbon source gas in a heating atmosphere and growing multi-walled carbon nanotubes from the surface of a catalyst being brought into contact with the carbon source gas, a mineral powder containing iron is used as the catalyst.
