摘要:
A process for producing a high modulus, high tenacity polyethylene terephthalate filament which comprises (1) spinning a solution of polyethylene terephthalate in an organic solvent through a die to produce a solution spun filament, wherein the polyethylene terephthalate has an intrinsic viscosity of at least about 1.0 dl/g and wherein the organic solvent is selected from the group consisting of (a) hexafluoroisopropanol, (b) trifluoroacetic acid, (c) mixed solvent systems containing from about 20 weight percent to about 99 weight percent hexafluoroisopropanol and from about 1 weight percent to about 80 weight percent dichloromethane, and (d) mixed solvent systems containing from about 20 weight percent to about 99 weight percent trifluoroacetic acid and from about 1 to about 80 weight percent dichloromethane; and (2) subsequently drawing the solution spun filament to a total draw ratio of at least about 7:1 to product the high modulus, high tenacity polyethylene terephthalate filament.
摘要:
This invention discloses a process for producing a high modulus, high tenacity polyethylene terephthalate filament which comprises (1) spinning a solution of polyethylene terephthalate in an organic solvent through a die to produce a solution spun filament, wherein the polyethylene terephthalate has an intrinsic viscosity of at least about 3.0 dl/g and wherein the organic solvent is selected form the group consisting of (a) hexafluoroisopropanol, (b) trifluoroacetic acid, (c) mixed solvent systems containing from about 20 weight percent to about 99 weight percent hexafluoroisopropanol and from about 1 weight percent to about 80 weight percent dichloromethane, and (d) mixed solvent systems containing from about 20 weight percent to about 99 weight percent trifluoroacetic acid and from about 1 to about 80 weight percent dichloromethane; and (2) subsequently drawing the solution spun filament to a total draw ratio of at least about 7:1 to produce the high modulus, high tenacity polyethylene terephthalate filament. The filaments made by the process of this invention have better thermal stability, such as a lower thermal shrinkage and a higher melting point, than fibers made utilizing standard melt processing techniques.
摘要:
The biodegradable polymer having the formula:W--M--Zwherein M is a polyanhydroglucose block which does not contain any ester substituents and wherein W and Z are organic diisocyanates having the formula: ##EQU1## or ##EQU2## wherein R is an divalent organic radical and wherein X is a terminal group, --M--Z, --M--W or --M. The process of preparing the biodegradable polymer wherein M contains at least one ester substituted hydroxyl group which comprises deesterifying M to obtain M as a polyanhydroglucose block which does not contain any ester substituents.
