摘要:
A method to prepare high strength high modulus polyolefin shaped articles comprising forming a heated solution of the polyolefin from particles of which about 75 to 100% by weight have a particle size of from about 100 to about 400 microns and having a weight average molecular weight of from about 300,000 to 7,000,000, then shaping the heated soltion then cooling the shaped solution. To further increase the strength of the article it can be stretched.
摘要:
A method of extracting a material from a continuous running length of fiber comprising continuously moving the fiber through a conduit while simultaneously flowing a solvent for the material through the conduit with the conduit having a length and cross sectional area sufficient to facilitate extraction of the desired amount of the material. The flow is countercurrent to the movement of the fiber.

An article including a woven fabric for impeding the passage of air, the fabric having an air permeability of less than about 15 cfm/ft.sup.2 and including at least one multifilament yarn having a longitudinal axis, the yarn being made of high strength filaments having a tenacity of at least about 7 g/d, a tensile modulus of at least about 150 g/d and an energy-to-break of at least about 8 J/g. Preferably, the high strength filaments are extended chain polyethylene.
摘要:
A heat and oxidation stabilized polymeric article, preferably fiber or film, is prepared by applying to the article a composition which comprises effective amounts of a nitrogen-containing antioxidant and a compatible carrier. When the composition is applied as a process finish, the carrier is a lubricant which is the reaction product of an alkylene oxide with a compound selected from the group consisting of a fatty acid having about 5 to 36 carbon atoms and an alcohol having about 5 to 36 carbon atoms, with the number of moles of alkylene oxide per mole of acid or alcohol ranging from 2 to 20. The stabilized article has utility in high performance applications.

This invention is a transparent alcohol resistant, hot water resistant, thermoplastically formable copolymer of (A) 80.4 to 88.8 weight percent epsilon-caprolactam and the remaining (B) 11.2 to 19.6 weight percent of substantially equimolar portions of a moiety derived from (1) a diamine or diisocyanate and (2) a diacid or (c) 11.2 to 19.6 weight percent para amino benzoic acid.
摘要:
By poststretching, at a temperature between about 135.degree. and 160.degree. C., a polyethylene fiber, which has already been oriented by drawing at a temperature within 5.degree. C. of its melting point, an ultra high modulus, very low creep, low shrink, high tenacity polyolefin fiber having good strength retention at high temperatures is obtained. The poststretching can be in multiple stages and/or with previous annealing. The poststretching should be done at a draw rate of less than 1 second.sup.-1. Tensile modulus values over 2,000 g/d for multifilament yarn are consistently obtained for ultrahigh molecular weight-polyethylene, with tensile strength values above 30 g/d while at the same time dramatically improving creep (at 160.degree. F. (71.1.degree. C.) and 39,150 psi load) by values at least 25% lower than fiber which has not been poststretched. Shrinkage is improved to values less than 2.5% of the original length when heated from room temperature to 135.degree. C. Performance at higher temperature is improved by about 15.degree. to 25.degree. C.

This invention is an apparatus and method of extracting a material from a continuous running length of fiber comprising continuously moving the fiber through a conduit while simultaneously flowing a solvent for the material through the conduit with the conduit having a length and cross sectional area sufficient to facilitate extraction of the desired amount of the material. The flow is preferred to be countercurrent to the movement of the fiber.
摘要:
This invention is a method to improve retention of a finish on nylon yarn, said finish containing the reaction product of epichlorohydrin with the reaction product of pyromellitic dianhydride with a long chain fluoroalcohol, comprising polymerizing said nylon in the presence of about 0.5 to 1 mole percent of a primary-tertiary diamine of the structure ##STR1## where R.sub.1 is an alpha, omega-alkylene group of 2 to 10 carbon atoms where cycloaliphatic, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are alkyl radicals of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sub.4 is an alkylene radical of 1 to 10 carbon atoms and R.sub.5 is R.sub.4 or arylalkyl, R.sub.6 is H or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons, so that said nylon polymer is melt stable. Also, for batch processing, polyethyleneimines of 300 to 1200 molecular weight, methylaminobispropylamine, N-(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine, and 3,3'-iminobispropylamine are useful.
