摘要:
Polybenzazole polymer dopes are spun into fibers at high speed by passing through a spinneret with proper selection of hole geometry, followed by spin-drawing to a spin-draw ratio of at least 20, washing, taking up and drying. The take up speed is at least about 150 meters per minute, and the fibers are spun in at least 10 km lengths without a break.
摘要:
Polybenzoxazole or polybenzothiazole polymer dopes are spun through a spinneret having an orifice density of more than 0.25 per cm.sup.2 to form filaments. The filaments formed then pass through an air gap which has a gas flowing into it at a temperature of between about 5.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C. and at a flow rate between about 0.1 meters/second and about 2.0 meters/second. The filaments cool in the air gap and are then coagulated. During or after coagulation the filaments are combined into one or more fibers. By this method of controlling the temperature in the air gap it is possible to stably spin polybenzoxazole or polybenzothiazole fibers at relatively high final line speeds.
摘要:
A continuous process for heating a polybenzazole or polybenzothiazole filament, which includes the step of heating the filament to a temperature of at least 100.degree. C. but no greater than 290.degree. C. while applying a tension thereto of at least 3.5 grams per denier, which is carried out at a line speed of at least 100 m/minute; and there is no prior or subsequent heating of the fiber to any temperature greater than 300.degree. C. It has been discovered that placing tension on the filament while it is dried increases its tensile modulus without a significant decrease in its tensile strength.
摘要:
In a process for preparing polybenzoxazole or polybenzothiazole filaments by extruding a polybenzoxazole or polybenzothiazole dope, drawing the dope filament across an air gap, and coagulating the dope filament; the number of filament breaks can be reduced by placing a stress isolation device after extruding but before coagulating the filament.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of polybenzazole filaments which comprises (a) extruding a solution of polybenzazole polymer in a mineral acid through a spinneret having at least 100 holes, which are arranged to form a annular pattern around the center of the spinneret, the center and at least two radial sections of the spinneret having no holes and an average width which is at least about 3 times the minimum pitch of the holes, thereby forming filaments of the polymer solution; (b) drawing the filaments of the polymer solution through a quench chamber while providing a substantially radial gas flow therein across the spinneret from at least two different directions; and (c) washing and drying the filaments of the polymer solution under conditions sufficient to form polybenzazole filaments.

摘要:
Silane compositions having an aromatic functionality and a ethylenically functionality and comprising a latent acid catalyst are deposited in two or more layers on a substrate. Each layer differs in light absorption properties from an adjacent layer. Some layers may have different curing mechanisms. Such a method is useful in forming antireflective coatings.
摘要:
The present invention provides strategies for improving the adhesion among two or more of transparent conducting oxides, electrically conductive grid materials, and dielectric barrier layers. As a consequence, these strategies are particularly useful in the fabrication of heterojunction photovoltaic devices such as chalcogenide-based solar cells. When the barrier is formed and then the grid is applied to vias in the barrier, the structure has improved moisture barrier resistance as compared to where the barrier is formed over or around the grid. Adhesion is improved to such a degree that grid materials and dielectric barrier materials can cooperate to provide a hermetic seal over devices to protect against damage induced by environmental conditions, including damage due to water intrusion. This allows the collection grids to be at least partially exposed above the dielectric barrier, making it easy to make electronic connection to the devices.
