Abstract
An acrylic fiber, which is produced by wet spinning in the solvent-water coagulation system, is investigated in order to find out the influence of drying conditions on homogeneity in microstructure and mechanical properties of fiber. Mechanical properties of fiber can be changed by drying temperature and degree of relaxation. By drying in relaxed state, tensile strength of fiber changes a little, but tensile elongation and knot strength increases. Homogeneity in fiber microstructure increases by drying at high temperatures.
