Abstract
In order to obtain high-strength and high-modulus aramid fibers which are hydrolytically stable at high temperatures and can be applicable to cement reinforcement by autoclave curing, disubstituted benzidines (60-40 mole%) such as 2, 2'-dimethylbenzidine (2, 2'-Di-Me-Bz) and 1, 4-bis(ρ-aminophenoxy) benzene (BAP) (40-60 mole%) were copolymerized with terephthaloyl chloride. The resultant polymer solutions were wet-spun and hot-drawn.
The fibers obtained had good mechanical properties and high hydrolytic stability at high temperatures. A typical example was as follows: the fiber from 2, 2'-Di-Me-Bz/BAP(60/40) terephthalamide had tenacity of 22g/d and initial modulus of 700 g/d and retained 84-92% of tenacity after hydrolysis in aqueous alkaline solution (pH 13.6) for 6 hr at 180°C.
