As a method for improving pilling tendency of acrylic fiber by strengthening intermolecular force, it has been shown in the previous papers that polymer composition should have been changed to be composed of more monomer with-SO
3 Na such as sodium arylsulfonate.
Mutual diffusion of solvent and coagulant, and change of the fine structure of the antipilling acrylic fiber during coagulation, drawing and drying of DMSO-H
2O wet spinning process are studied in this report compared with conventional acrylic fiber.
1) Diffusion of H
2O
in during coagulation is much increased by hydrophilic property of this polymer, while DMSO
out does not change so much between both samples.
After all, ratio of mutual diffusion (H
2O
in/DHSO
out) of this polymer is larger than usual one.
The influence of dope temperature to diffusion, which has not been experimented up to the present time, is apparent and H
2O
in reduces in proportion to raising dope temperature.
2) Coagulated filament consists of very fine fibrillar structure, which becomes coarser by raising temperature of coagulation bath.
However the influence of polymer composition to it is larger than that of bath temperature.
3) During drawing process, filament freeze-dried is observed as being dense and homogenized structure. Therefore these results suggest that freeze-drying condition is not sufficient to fix the fibrillar structure of filament, because the electron micrograph shows the existence of very fine fibrillar structure.
4) Orientation of fibrill during drawing process is comparatively low due to fine fibrillar structure of coagulated filament.
5) Remarkable minimum value of toluene density during drying process which has appeared in usual acrylic fiber as reported by several papers does not appear in this case.
It is supposed that hydrophilic property of polymer and fine fibrillar structure of filament give the moderate and homogeneous drying behaviour.
