摘要:
The present invention discloses and claims a novel process for the formation of high denier as-spun and heat-treated filaments of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer. Preferred embodiments include process for the formation of as-spun and heat treated monofilaments of a few wholly aromatic polyesters and polyesteramides. The process involves (a) heating of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer to above its melting transition temperature; (b) passing said molten polymer through an extrusion chamber equipped with an extrusion capillary of an aspect ratio of greater than about 1 and less than about 15 to form a filament; and (c) winding the filament at a draw-down ratio of at least about 4. The filaments so formed are of at least 50 denier per filament (dpf) and feature essentially uniform molecular orientation across the cross-section. In a final optional step, the filaments are heat treated in stages to form filaments exhibiting excellent tensile properties. Both as-spun and heat-treated filaments feature remarkably good tensile properties retaining at least 80 to 90 percent of the properties expected of conventional low denier (5 to 10 dpf) filaments.

Vibration damping composites suitable for use in construction panels or constrained-layer elements are described. The composites include a viscoelastic gel prepared from 99.5-92.5 wt. % water and 0.5-7.5 wt. % of a superabsorbent polymer. Preferably, the polymer is of the carboxylic acid type and optionally includes starch or cellulose.

Preferred embodiments include process for the formation of heat treated filaments of a few wholly aromatic polyesters and polyesteramides.

The filaments so formed are of at least 50 denier per filament (dpf) and feature essentially uniform molecular orientation across the cross-section. The heat-treated filaments feature remarkably good tensile properties retaining at least 80 to 90 percent of the properties expected of conventional low denier (5 to 10 dpf) filaments.

Organometallic preceramic polymers are melt spun into fibers utilizing a spinning apparatus which directs the preceramic polymer from a stagnant melt pool of said polymer to a spinneret. The spinneret is one used for solvent spinning and, thus, has a shorter residence time during extrusion through the spinneret orifice than conventional melt spinning spinnerets.

Example portable trailer stands for supporting parked trailers are disclosed herein. Some example portable trailer stands disclosed herein comprise two telescopic posts supporting a generally horizontal beam. Some examples include spring-loaded retractable wheels for selectively installing and removing the trailer stand from underneath a trailer left parked on a driveway. After being positioned under the trailer, the posts extend to lift the beam solidly up against the underside of the trailer. To accommodate conditions where the driveway is not parallel to the trailer's underside, some example posts can be lengthened independently and have angular play that allows the beam to tilt. In some examples, the horizontal axle of the trailer stand wheels is perpendicular to the beam so that the trailer stand can be readily installed from either the front or side of the trailer. Some examples have a kingpin-receiving groove in the beam or have some other kingpin-receiving feature.

The present invention discloses and claims a novel process for the formation of high denier as-spun and heat-treated multilobal filaments of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer. Preferred embodiments include process for the formation of as-spun and heat treated octalobal monofilaments of a few wholly aromatic polyesters and polyesteramides. The process involves (a) heating of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer to above its melting transition temperature; (b) passing said molten polymer through an extrusion chamber equipped with an extrusion capillary having a multilobal cross-section to form a multilobal filament; and (c) winding the filament at a suitable draw-down. The filaments so formed are of at least 50 denier per filament (dpf) and feature essentially uniform molecular orientation across their cross-section. In a final optional step, the filaments are heat treated in stages to form filaments exhibiting excellent tensile properties. Both as-spun and heat-treated filaments feature remarkably good tensile properties comparable to those of round filaments. Most importantly, the multilobal filaments of this invention feature much superior adhesion properties than the conventional round filaments.
