    Melt spinning behavior of polyimide filaments and their mechanical properties at temperature range up to 400°C were investigated. The region of elongational deformation was narrow and was less than 2cm from the spinneret under the spinning condition at the extruded temperature of 404°C, the extrusion rate of 1.88×10-3cm3/s and the take-up velocity of 47.2cm/s. Elongational viscosity of the deformation region ranged from 105 to 107 poise. Activation energy for the elongational flow was calculated to 80kcal/mol and it was much larger than that of a linear type PPS. The narrow deformation region, and the large elongational viscosity and activation energy were discussed with molecular rigidity of the polyimide. Temperature dependence of dynamic storage modulus (E′) of the annealed filaments taken up above 47.1cm/s showed plateau and terminal zone at temperatures higher than the primary dispersion temperature of about 240°C. E′ in the plateau zone and the temperature at the beginning of the terminal zone of the filaments increased with increasing the take-up velocity. Maximum value of E′ at 325°C was 2×109 dyn/cm2. It was indicated that the different features of E′ above the primary dispersion temperature were associated with not only crystallinity but also molecular orientation in the filaments.

    Treatment of both formaldehyde and creosol dispersed in linter pulp by either CBM and VBM furnished three condensation products I_??_III. Addition of creosol to pine chips, “rough pulps” (Asplund pulps), and the mill-made “1R-pulps” (TMP), followed by the treatment with laboratory refiner also afforded products I_??_III. Effect of pH of 4.0, 7.0, and 10.0 on the yields of condensation products I_??_III was also examined for “rough pulps” and “1R-pulps” by refiner treatment. The higher the pH value, the yields of reaction products I and II increased.

    The liquid retention properties of wool fibers were investigated for those structurally modified by chemical and mechanical processes, such as treating with solvents and enzyme, heating in 8.0M LiBr solution and stretching in steam.
    The extraction of nonkeratinous proteins with organic solvents and pronase was found to cause an increase in the liquid retension of wool fiber. Particularly, the removal of nonkeratinous proteins had marked effects on the retractive forces opposing the swelling pressure of the liquid in the cell membrane complex.
    The supercontracted wools in which the original oriented α-structure was transformed to disoriented β-structure in the microfibril, had high liquid retension values at pH2 and 8, distant from the iso-electric point, pH5, whereas the stretched wools in which the oriented β-structure was effected, was little affected in the liquid retention throughout the pH range examined. These results suggest that the extent of the liquid retention of wool is dependent not on the secondary structure of the microfibrillar peptide chains, but on the orientation of the peptide chains which is closely associated with the retractive forces opposing the swelling pressure of liquid in the microfibril.

    Highly elastic and high water-content hydrogels were prepared by coagulation of concentrated aqueous solutions of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly (allyl amine) (PAlAm) blends in an autoclave at 2 atm and at 120°C, followed by dehydration in methanol and re-swelling in water. The elastic moduli of the hydrogels increased with increasing PAlAm content and were higher than those of the PVA hydrogels obtained by repeated freezing and thawing. This was explained based on the presence of rigid phase due to the formation of polymer complex between PVA and PAlAm. The water enclosed in the network had lower mobility than the free water.

    Dewaxing of gray cotton fabric is an important operation in the dyeing process, Instead of the conventional wet scouring process, oxygen low temperature plasma treatment was applied to gray cotton fabric. The low temperature plasma treatment was useful technic to remove the surface cotton wax. In order to confirm the practical effect, two kinds of cotton fabric which were treated with the conventional scouring and the low temperature plasma processes, were processed subsequently bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing, and finishing under the same conditions. The qualities of both fabrics were almost the same, but it seems likely that the consumptions of chemicals, water, and energy by low temperature plasma process are much less than those of conventional one. The scouring time by conventional process was reduced to one twentyth by the low temperature plasma process.

    Aromatic polyether-esters were synthesized from hydroxy acid-type monomers, in order to obtain melt-processable, crystalline aromatic polymers. Poly (oxy-1, 4-phenyleneoxy-1, 3-phenylenecarbonyl) had a melting temperature of 292°C and poly (oxy-1, 4-phenyleneoxy-1, 4-phenyleneoxy-1, 4-phenylenecarbonyl) had those of 307, 326°C (double peaks). Both polymers could be melt-spun to yield fibers having moderate tensile properties and fairly good heat durability at 220°C.

    Aqueous silk fibroin gelled when it was kept for a required time under suitable conditions. The gelation time and the physical properties of fibroin gel could be controlled by adjusting pH and concentration of the silk fibroin solution. Gelation occurred when the electrostatic repulsion between the macromolecules was sufficiently reduced near and at the isoelectric point of silk fibroin (pI=3.8-3.9). The strength of the gel at the isoelectric point was weak due to an insufficient formation of a network structure. Gel strength and gelling rate were greatly dependent on pH and concentration of the silk fibroin solution. The formation of network structure depended on the amount of β-structure developed in the gel.
