Melting fibre

A. Conix, Aromatic polyanhydrides, a new class of high melting fibre-forming polymers, J. Polymer Sd. 29 (1958) 343-353. [Pg.190]

One of those methods is sometimes applied to spun yams from staple fibres. Instead of a single type of fibre, a blend of two or more fibres is used which differ in shrinkage properties. The yams are then heated in the wet or dry state, depending on the type of fibres. Part of the fibres shrink and the other fibres must form loops or curls, resulting in an increased bulkiness of the yam. Sometimes fibres are blended from polymers which differ in melting point the temperature is so selected that only the lower melting fibres will show an appreciable shrinkage. It is also possible to use... [Pg.448]

Polymers owe much of their attractiveness to their ease of processing. In many important teclmiques, such as injection moulding, fibre spinning and film fonnation, polymers are processed in the melt, so that their flow behaviour is of paramount importance. Because of the viscoelastic properties of polymers, their flow behaviour is much more complex than that of Newtonian liquids for which the viscosity is the only essential parameter. In polymer melts, the recoverable shear compliance, which relates to the elastic forces, is used in addition to the viscosity in the description of flow [48]. [Pg.2534]

The first five of these techniques involve deformation and this has to be followed by some setting operation which stabilises the new shape. In the case of polymer melt deformation this can be affected by cooling of thermoplastics and cross-linking of thermosetting plastics and similtir comments can apply to deformation in the rubbery state. Solution-cast film and fibre requires solvent evaporation (with also perhaps some chemical coagulation process). Latex suspensions can simply be dried as with emulsion paints or subjected to some... [Pg.158]

As with other crystalline polymers, the incorporation of glass fibres narrows the gap between the heat deflection temperatures and the crystalline melting point. [Pg.498]

These polymers, typical of polyamides with fewer than four main chain carbon atoms in the repeating unit, decompose before melting and have to be processed from solution. Several of the polymers may, however, be spun into fibres. Over thirty years ago Courtaulds produced silk-like fibres on an experimental commercial scale from poly-(L-alanine) and from poly-(a-methyl-L-glutamate). The latter material is also said to be in use as a synthetic leather in Japan. The... [Pg.508]

As with the aliphatic polyamides, the heat deflection temperature (under 1.82 MPa load) of about 96°C is similar to the figure for the Tg. As a result there is little demand for unfilled polymer, and commercial polymers are normally filled. The inclusion of 30-50% glass fibre brings the heat deflection temperature under load into the range 217-231°C, which is very close to the crystalline melting point. This is in accord with the common observation that with many crystalline polymers the deflection temperature (1.82 MPa load) of unfilled material is close to the Tg and that of glass-filled material is close to the T. ... [Pg.513]

The PE fibres are produced by melt spinning a novolak resin of molecular weight ca 1000 and then cross-linking the molecules by exposure to gaseous formaldehyde at 100-150°C for 6-8 h or with a formaldehyde solution. The fibres were introduced under the tradename Kynol by American Kynol Inc., a subsidiary of Carborundum AG. [Pg.666]

Miscellaneous uses include textile bobbins, guns for hot melt adhesives and bilge pump housings. These materials are normally found in reinforced form. In addition to glass fibres, other fillers such as glass beads, talc and mica are used in conjunction with coupling agents. [Pg.727]

As previously mentioned the initial research on polyurethanes was directed towards the preparation of fibre-forming polymers. Many poly hydroxy compounds and many di-isocyanates were used and the melting points of some of the more linear aliphatic polyurethanes produced cU"e given in Table 27.1. [Pg.782]

The polymer may be prepared by running the isocyanate into the glycol while the temperature is raised slowly to near 200°C. The reaction is exothermic and carried out under a blanket of nitrogen. The polymers produced have a molecular weight of 10000-15 000 and after filtration may be melt spun into fibres. [Pg.783]

Amorphous stereotactic polymers can crystallise, in which condition neighbouring chains are parallel. Because of the unavoidable chain entanglement in the amorphous state, only modest alignment of amorphous polymer chains is usually feasible, and moreover complete crystallisation is impossible under most circumstances, and thus many polymers are semi-crystalline. It is this feature, semicrystallinity, which distinguished polymers most sharply from other kinds of materials. Crystallisation can be from solution or from the melt, to form spherulites, or alternatively (as in a rubber or in high-strength fibres) it can be induced by mechanical means. This last is another crucial difference between polymers and other materials. Unit cells in crystals are much smaller than polymer chain lengths, which leads to a unique structural feature which is further discussed below. [Pg.311]

In addition to the production of stabilized AI2O3 fibres there is also a huge production of melt-spun glassy fibres containing approximately equal proportions by weight of AI2O3 and Si02. This is used mainly for thermal insulation at temperatures up to 1400°C and current world production exceeds 20000 tormes per annum. [Pg.244]

However, the use of this method on an industrial scale is cumbersome and the question arises whether it is reasonable to form the fibre and then melt it, in order to change its structure completely. Is it not better to form a structure with a great number of tie chains required for the attainment of high strength at once during crystallization of the melt ... [Pg.213]

The problem of carpet recycling is considered and the different methods being proposed or commercially utilised are discussed. The main component of the carpet waste is fibres of nylon-6 and nylon-66. The review of the literature includes a limited amount of journal publications, which focus primarily on fundamental aspects, and a large number of patents, which describe the available technologies. The most promising recycling techniques (depolymerisation, extraction, melt blending and mechanical separation) are described. 48 refs. [Pg.34]
