【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は感温変色性アクリル系合成繊維の製造方法に関する。詳細には、熱変色性顔料をアクリロニトリル系重合体中に分散状態に含有させ、繊維形態となした感温変色性アクリル系合成繊維の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より、繊維に熱変色機能を付与させる手段として、繊維の表面に熱変色性顔料をバインダー樹脂に分散状態に固着させた熱変色層により被覆するもの(特開昭61−179389号公報、特開昭62−156355号公報等)、ポリエステル、ポリアミド、ポリオレフィン等の熱可塑性の繊維形成性重合体中に熱変色性顔料を溶融ブレンドして溶融紡糸により一体的に形成させるもの(特開平3−227402号公報、特開平3−161511号公報等)がある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、アクリル系合成繊維にあっては、アクリロニトリル系重合体の熱的特性により、熱変色性顔料を一体的に溶融ブレンドして溶融紡糸により繊維を形成することができないので、後加工により繊維表面に前記した熱変色層を形成することにより熱変色機能を付与することを余儀なくされていた。
従って、アクリル繊維自体の風合が損なわれる上、溶融ブレンドにより溶融紡糸された系に比べ、洗濯強度、擦過強度、耐光堅牢性等の持久性の面で劣ることを免れなかった。
一方、溶融紡糸による系にあっては、熱変色性顔料が繊維形成性ポリマーとの溶融ブレンド、或いは溶融紡糸過程で高熱、高圧が負荷されるので、熱変色性顔料の熱劣化を起こす場合があり、一般の繊維製品に適用可能な高分子量の高融点の繊維形成性ポリマーの適用が阻害され、繊維強度等の耐久性を実用的に満足させることが困難であった。
本発明者らは、前記した不具合を解消するため、鋭意検討を進め、アクリル系繊維のもつ風合や、繊維特性を損なうことなく、熱変色性機能を持続して有効に発現させる感温変色性アクリル系合成繊維の製造方法を提供しようとするものである。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、(イ)電子供与性呈色性有機化合物、(ロ)電子受容性化合物、及び(ハ)前記両者の呈色反応の生起温度を決める反応媒体をマイクロカプセルに内包した、平均粒子径0.5〜30μmの熱変色性顔料が、アクリロニトリル系重合体を溶解させた無機塩濃厚水溶液中に、前記重合体に対し0.5〜40重量%の割合で分散状態にブレンドされてなる紡糸原液により湿式紡糸することを特徴とする感温変色性アクリル系合成繊維の製造方法を要件とする。
更には、無機塩濃厚水溶液は、ロダン塩を主成分として含有する濃厚水溶液であることを要件とする。
【0005】
前記熱変色性顔料は、(イ)電子供与性呈色性有機化合物、(ロ)前記化合物を呈色させる電子受容性化合物、及び(ハ)前記両者の呈色反応の生起温度を決める反応媒体の必須三成分を含む、従来より公知のものが有効であり、具体的には、本出願人が提案した、特公昭51−44706号公報、特公昭51−44707号公報、特公平1−29398号公報等に記載のものが利用できる。前記は所定の温度(変色点)を境としてその前後で変色し、変色点以上の温度域で消色状態、変色点未満の温度域で発色状態を呈し、前記両状態のうち常温域では特定の一方の状態しか存在しえない。即ち、もう一方の状態は、その状態が発現するのに要した熱又は冷熱が適用されている間は維持されるが、前記熱又は冷熱の適用がなくなれば常温域で呈する状態に戻る、ヒステリシス幅が比較的小さい特性(ΔHA=1〜7℃)を有する加熱消色型(A)を挙げることができ、特にΔHAが3℃以下の系〔特公平1−29398号公報に示す、3℃以下のΔT値(融点−曇点)を示す脂肪酸エステルを(ハ)成分として適用〕によるものは、変色点を境に温度変化に鋭敏に感応して高感度の加熱消色性を示し、目的に応じて効果的に適用できる(図5参照)。
【0006】
又、本出願人が提案した特公平4−17154号公報、特開平7−179777号公報、特開平7−33997号公報、特開平8−39936号公報等に記載されている大きなヒステリシス特性(ΔHB=8〜50℃)を示す、即ち、温度変化による着色濃度の変化をプロットした曲線の形状が、温度を変色温度域より低温側から上昇させていく場合と逆に変色温度域より高温側から下降させていく場合とで大きく異なる経路を辿って変色し、t1以下の低温域での発色状態、又はt4以上の高温域での消色状態が、特定温度域〔t2〜t3の間の温度域(実質的二相保持温度域〕で記憶保持できる色彩記憶保持型熱変色性組成物(B)も適用できる(図6参照)。
尚、前記実質的二相保持温度域は、常温域(例えば、15〜35℃)を含むものが汎用的であるが、前記温度範囲に特定されない。
【0007】
又、加熱発色型(C)の組成物として、消色状態からの加熱により発色する、本出願人の提案(特開平11−129623号公報、特開平11−5973号公報)による、(ロ)電子受容性化合物として、炭素数3乃至18の直鎖又は側鎖アルキル基を有する特定のアルコキシフェノール化合物を適用した系を挙げることができる。
【0008】
前記した三つのタイプ(A、B、C)の熱変色性組成物を含む顔料を目的に応じて選択して適用することにより、多様な変色形態を有する感温変色性アクリル系合成繊維を提供できる。
【0009】
前記熱変色性顔料は、鮮明な発色性、高発色濃度、均質性、分散安定性、耐薬品性等の面から(イ)、(ロ)、(ハ)の三成分をマイクロカプセルに内包させたものが有効である。
熱変色性顔料の平均粒子径〔(長径+短径)/2〕は、0.5μm〜30μmの範囲、好ましくは、0.5〜15μm、更に好ましくは、0.5〜10μmの範囲にあることが、変色の鋭敏性、持久性、加工適性等の面で有効である。
粒子径が30μmを越える系にあっては、繊維形成過程における均質な分散性に欠け、安定した品質の熱変色性を示す繊維を形成し難い。
0.5μm未満の系にあっては、水性媒体中に懸濁した状態でマイクロカプセル化した熱変色性顔料が得られるとしても、濾別又は遠心分離等の手段によるカプセル化顔料の単離に難がある上、強度的に不充分である。
【0010】
マイクロカプセル形態の顔料は、真円形断面のものの適用を拒まないが、非円形断面形状を有するもの、更に具体的には外面の少なくとも一部に窪みを有する非真円形状の熱変色性顔料(図1〜図4参照)を効果的に適用することができる。
前記熱変色性顔料は、非真円形態の偏平状の顔料であるので圧力や熱の負荷に対して、適宜に弾性変形して応力を緩和できるため、カプセル壁膜の破壊に対して抑制効果を果たす。即ち、加熱過程にあってはカプセルの熱膨脹、収縮に応じて壁膜が弾性変形して、カプセル壁膜の破壊の抑制効果を果たし、内包の可逆熱変色性組成物を保護して所期の熱変色機能を保持させる強靱なカプセル形態の熱変色性顔料として効果的に機能する。
又、本発明のカプセル化された熱変色性顔料は、可逆熱変色性組成物/壁膜=7/1〜1/1(重量比)の範囲にあることが望ましい。熱変色性組成物の比率が前記範囲より大になると壁膜の厚みが肉薄となり過ぎ、内包した熱変色性組成物の保護機能の低下がみられる。一方、壁膜の比率が前記範囲より大になると発色濃度の低下を余儀なくされ、好ましくない。
【0011】
前記可逆熱変色性組成物をカプセルに内包させる手段としては、界面重合法、界面重縮合法、インサイチュー法、コアセルベート法等、公知のカプセル化方法が適用されるが、本発明の前記した要件を満たす粒子径範囲及び外形状の熱変色性顔料を得るためには、凝集、合一化が生じ難い界面重合法又は界面重縮合法が好適に用いられる。更に、カプセル化終了後、カプセル懸濁液を所望に応じて水で希釈し、夾雑物及び粗大粒子をフィルター類を用いて濾別することにより、不要な粗大粒子が除去される。
【0012】
前記熱変色性顔料は、繊維を形成するアクリロニトリル系重合体に対し、0.5〜40重量%の割合でブレンドされる。0.5重量%未満では、鮮明な熱変色性を示さない。一方、40重量%を越えると消色時における色残りが発生しがちであり、好適には1〜20重量%の範囲である。
【0013】
本発明感温変色性アクリル系合成繊維の製造方法は、(イ)電子供与性呈色性有機化合物、(ロ)電子受容性化合物、及び(ハ)前記両者の呈色反応の生起温度を決める反応媒体をマイクロカプセルに内包した、平均粒子径0.5〜30μmの熱変色性顔料が、アクリロニトリル系重合体を溶解させた無機塩濃厚水溶液中に、前記重合体に対し0.5〜40重量%の割合で分散状態にブレンドされてなる紡糸原液により湿式紡糸することを要件とする。
前記無機塩濃厚水溶液としては、ロダンソーダ、ロダンカリウム、ロダンアンモン及びロダンカルシウム等のロダン塩の濃厚水溶液、塩化亜鉛、塩化リチウム等無機塩の濃厚水溶液を挙げることができる。これらの無機塩類は、熱変色性顔料の変色機能を劣化させることなく、アクリロニトリル系重合体の良好な溶媒として作用する。又、紡糸ノズルより吐出されたフィラメント状物を凝固させる凝固浴としては、従来より汎用の水もしくは濃度20%以下の上記無機塩の水溶液が好適である。
尚、前記紡糸原液は、前記重合体の重合度に応じて配合量を適性な特性の紡糸液が得られるよう調整されるが、通常、30℃で40〜200ポイズ程度の粘性を有するものが有効である。
アクリロニトリル系重合体としては、ポリアクリロニトリル又はアクリロニトリルと共重合し得る化合物との共重合体及びポリ塩化ビニル等の第2成分を含むものが挙げられ、アクリロニトリルを50重量%以上、好ましくは80重量%以上含有するものが好ましい。アクリロニトリルと共重合して本発明の実施に有効なアクリロニトリル共重合生成物を生じる化合物としては、例えば、アクリル酸メチル、アクリル酸エチル、メタクリル酸メチルなどのアクリル酸又はメタクリル酸のエステル類、アクリルアミド及びメタクリルアミド及びこれらのアルキル置換生成物及び窒素置換生成物、2−ビニルピリジン、2−メチル−5−ビニルピリジン等のビニルピリジン類、スチレン及びそれらのアルキル置換生成物或いはさらに塩化ビニル、塩化ビニリデン、臭化ビニル、臭化ビニデン、青化ビニリデン等の単量体を挙げることができるが、必ずしもこれらに限定されない。
通常、単一重合体アクリロニトリル又は共重合体アクリロニトリルの分子量(平均分子量)は15000〜150000の範囲(汎用的には25000〜80000)から適宜に選ばれる。
本発明における紡糸原液の組成は、アクリロニトリル系重合体5〜30重量%(好適には約10〜20重量%)、ロダン塩又は塩化亜鉛30〜60重量%の紡糸原液において熱変色性顔料をポリマーに対して0.5〜40重量%(好適には1〜20重量%)を分散させることができる。さらに、一般顔料や光輝性材料等を添加できる。
前記紡糸原液を45〜75℃で紡糸ノズルより、希薄ロダン塩水溶液等の凝固液中に押出し、凝固させ、公知の水洗、延伸、熱処理、乾燥、更に捲縮処理、油剤処理等の工程を経て繊維となす。
熱変色性顔料として、マイクロカプセル形態の顔料を適用すると、紡糸原液の調製時に耐性を有すると共に易分散性であり、なかでも、非円形断面形状を有する顔料は、紡糸過程や延伸による繊維形成過程にあって、圧力や高熱が負荷されるが、自らの弾性変形により応力が緩和され、加えて繊維化時に長手方向に当該マイクロカプセル顔料自体が配向し易い特性と相まってマイクロカプセルが破壊されることがなく、所期の熱変色機能を満たす繊維を得ることができる。
本発明における繊維径は100μm以下、好適には30μm以下であり、汎用の非熱変色性アクリル繊維と同様な処理により、トウ、ステープル、その他所望の繊維形態となして実用に供することができる。
尚、前記湿式紡糸において、30μm以下の繊維径を得るためには、d<D≦20d(但し、dは顔料の粒子径、Dは繊維径を示す)の関係を満たすとき、連続的且つ安定的に繊維形成ができることを見出した。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
感温変色性アクリル系合成繊維は、特定粒子径の熱変色性顔料の特定量をアクリロニトリル系重合体を含む無機塩濃厚水溶液中に分散させた紡糸原液を用い、紡糸ノズルから凝固液中に吐出させ、公知の手段により延伸等の後処理を施し、繊維形態となすことによって得られる。
尚、実施例では、マイクロカプセル形態の顔料のうち、図1〜図4に例示の形態を適用しているが、これらの形態の混合或いは円形状断面の形態のものであってもよく、本発明は実施例に限定されない。

【発明の効果】
本発明の感温変色性アクリル系合成繊維の製造方法によって得られる感温変色性アクリル系合成繊維は、特定粒子径の熱変色性顔料の特定量を繊維中に分散状態に含有させてなるものであるから、表面に熱変色性顔料をバインダー樹脂により固着させた系に比べて、耐洗濯性、耐擦過性、耐光性等の持久性を満たすと共にアクリル系繊維の特性である、風合、嵩高性その他の繊維特性が損なわれることもなく、実用性を満たす。汎用のアクリル繊維と同様な繊維特性を有し、衣料分野、カーペット、毛布、カーテン等、ぬいぐるみ等の玩具分野等に適用される。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a thermochromic acrylic synthetic textiles. In particular, the thermochromic pigment is contained in a dispersed state in the acrylonitrile polymer, a method of manufacturing a thermochromic acrylic synthetic textiles that without the fibrous form.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a means for imparting a thermochromic function to the fiber, the surface of the fiber is coated with a thermochromic layer in which a thermochromic pigment is fixed in a dispersed state in a binder resin (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-179389, specially disclosed). No. 62-156355), a thermoplastic fiber-forming polymer such as polyester, polyamide, polyolefin, and the like, and a thermochromic pigment is melt-blended and integrally formed by melt spinning (Japanese Patent Laid-open No. Hei 3- No. 227402, JP-A-3-161511, and the like.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the case of acrylic synthetic fibers, the thermal properties of the acrylonitrile polymer make it impossible to melt and blend thermochromic pigments integrally and form fibers by melt spinning. In other words, it was necessary to provide a thermochromic function by forming the thermochromic layer described above.
Accordingly, the texture of the acrylic fiber itself is impaired, and it is inevitable that the durability of the washing strength, scratch strength, light fastness and the like is inferior to that of a melt-spun system by melt blending.
On the other hand, in a system by melt spinning, a thermochromic pigment is melt blended with a fiber-forming polymer, or high heat and high pressure are applied in the melt spinning process, which may cause thermal degradation of the thermochromic pigment. In addition, the application of high-molecular-weight, high-melting fiber-forming polymers that can be applied to general fiber products is hindered, and it has been difficult to practically satisfy durability such as fiber strength.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors proceeded with intensive studies, and the temperature-sensitive discoloration that continuously and effectively expresses the thermochromic function without impairing the texture and fiber properties of acrylic fibers. it is intended to provide a method for manufacturing a sexual acrylic synthetic textiles.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

[0005]
The thermochromic pigment comprises (a) an electron-donating color-forming organic compound, (b) an electron-accepting compound that colors the compound, and (c) a reaction medium that determines the occurrence temperature of the color reaction of both. Those known in the art including the essential three components are effective. Specifically, Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-44706, Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-44707, Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-29398 proposed by the present applicant. Can be used. The above color changes before and after a predetermined temperature (discoloration point), exhibits a decolored state at a temperature range above the discoloration point, and develops a color state at a temperature range below the discoloration point. Only one of the states can exist. That is, the other state is maintained while the heat or cold necessary to develop the state is applied, but when the heat or cold is not applied, the state returns to the state exhibited in the normal temperature range. A heat-erasable type (A) having a characteristic having a relatively small width (ΔH A = 1 to 7 ° C.) can be mentioned, and in particular, a system in which ΔH A is 3 ° C. or less [shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-292998 A fatty acid ester having a ΔT value (melting point-cloud point) of 3 ° C. or lower is applied as the component (c)], which is sensitive to temperature changes at the color change point and exhibits high sensitivity to heat decolorization. It can be effectively applied according to the purpose (see FIG. 5).
[0006]
In addition, the large hysteresis characteristics (ΔH described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-17154, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-179777, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-33997, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-39936, etc. proposed by the present applicant. B = 8 to 50 ° C.), that is, the shape of the curve plotting the change in color density due to the temperature change is higher than the color change temperature range, contrary to the case where the temperature is raised from the lower temperature side than the color change temperature range. The color changes by following a path that differs greatly from the case of descending from the lower temperature range, and the color development state at a low temperature range of t 1 or lower or the decolored state at a high temperature range of t 4 or higher is a specific temperature range [t 2 to t A color memory retention type thermochromic composition (B) capable of storing and retaining in a temperature range between 3 (substantially two-phase retention temperature range) is also applicable (see FIG. 6).
The substantially two-phase holding temperature range includes a normal temperature range (for example, 15 to 35 ° C.), but is not limited to the temperature range.
[0007]
According to the proposals of the present applicant (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 11-129623 and 11-5973) that develop color by heating from a decolored state as the composition of the heat-coloring type (C), (b) Examples of the electron accepting compound include a system to which a specific alkoxyphenol compound having a linear or side chain alkyl group having 3 to 18 carbon atoms is applied.
[0008]
A temperature-sensitive color-changing acrylic synthetic fiber having various color-changing forms is provided by selecting and applying a pigment containing the above-described three types (A, B, C) of the thermochromic composition according to the purpose. it can.
[0009]
The thermochromic pigment contains three components (a), (b), and (c) in a microcapsule from the standpoints of vivid color development, high color density, homogeneity, dispersion stability, chemical resistance, and the like. ash of it is effective.
The average particle size [(major axis + minor axis) / 2] of the thermochromic pigment is in the range of 0.5 μm to 30 μm, preferably 0.5 to 15 μm, more preferably 0.5 to 10 μm. Is effective in terms of color change sensitivity, endurance, processability, and the like.
In a system having a particle diameter of more than 30 μm, it is difficult to form a fiber exhibiting stable quality thermochromic properties due to lack of homogeneous dispersibility in the fiber forming process.
In a system of less than 0.5 μm , even if a thermochromic pigment microencapsulated in a suspended state in an aqueous medium is obtained, the encapsulated pigment can be isolated by means such as filtration or centrifugation. There are difficulties and strength is insufficient.
[0010]
Microencapsulated form of Pigment does not refuse the application of those true circular cross section, having a non-circular cross-sectional shape, a non-circular shape of the thermochromic pigment further having a recess in at least a part of the specific outer surface (See FIGS. 1 to 4) can be effectively applied.
Since the thermochromic pigment is a non-circular flat pigment, it can be elastically deformed and relieve stress appropriately under pressure and heat load, so it has an effect of suppressing capsule wall membrane destruction. Fulfill. That is, during the heating process, the wall membrane elastically deforms in response to the thermal expansion and contraction of the capsule, thereby preventing the capsule wall membrane from being destroyed, protecting the reversible thermochromic composition of the capsule and It effectively functions as a thermochromic pigment in the form of a tough capsule that retains the thermochromic function.
Further, encapsulated thermochromic Pigments of the present invention is preferably in the range of reversible thermochromic composition / wall membrane = 7 / 1-1 / 1 (weight ratio). When the ratio of the thermochromic composition is larger than the above range, the thickness of the wall film becomes too thin, and the protective function of the encapsulated thermochromic composition is reduced. On the other hand, when the ratio of the wall film is larger than the above range, the color density is inevitably lowered, which is not preferable.
[0011]
As a means for encapsulating the reversible thermochromic composition in a capsule, a known encapsulation method such as an interfacial polymerization method, an interfacial polycondensation method, an in situ method, a coacervate method, or the like is applied. In order to obtain a thermochromic pigment having a particle size range and an outer shape satisfying the above conditions, an interfacial polymerization method or an interfacial polycondensation method that hardly causes aggregation or coalescence is preferably used. Furthermore, after completion of the encapsulation, unnecessary coarse particles are removed by diluting the capsule suspension with water as desired, and filtering out impurities and coarse particles using filters.
[0012]
The thermochromic pigment is blended at a ratio of 0.5 to 40% by weight with respect to the acrylonitrile polymer forming the fiber. If it is less than 0.5% by weight, no sharp thermochromic property is exhibited. On the other hand, if it exceeds 40% by weight, a color residue at the time of decoloring tends to occur, and it is preferably in the range of 1 to 20% by weight.
[0013]
The method for producing a thermochromic acrylic synthetic fiber of the present invention determines (i) an electron-donating color-forming organic compound, (b) an electron-accepting compound, and (c) an occurrence temperature of the color reaction of both. A thermochromic pigment having an average particle size of 0.5 to 30 μm encapsulating the reaction medium in microcapsules is 0.5 to 40 wt% with respect to the polymer in a concentrated inorganic salt solution in which an acrylonitrile-based polymer is dissolved. It is a requirement to perform wet spinning with a spinning dope blended in a dispersed state at a rate of%.
Examples of the concentrated aqueous salt solution include concentrated aqueous solutions of rhodan salts such as rhodium soda, rhodan potassium, rhodanammon and rhodium calcium, and concentrated aqueous solutions of inorganic salts such as zinc chloride and lithium chloride. These inorganic salts act as a good solvent for the acrylonitrile polymer without deteriorating the color changing function of the thermochromic pigment. As the coagulation bath for coagulating the filament-like material discharged from the spinning nozzle, conventional water or an aqueous solution of the above inorganic salt having a concentration of 20% or less is suitable.
The spinning dope is adjusted so that a spinning solution having suitable characteristics can be obtained according to the degree of polymerization of the polymer, but usually has a viscosity of about 40 to 200 poise at 30 ° C. It is valid.
Examples of the acrylonitrile-based polymer include those containing a second component such as polyacrylonitrile or a copolymer that can be copolymerized with acrylonitrile and polyvinyl chloride, and acrylonitrile is 50% by weight or more, preferably 80% by weight. What contains above is preferable. Examples of the compound that is copolymerized with acrylonitrile to produce an acrylonitrile copolymer product effective in the practice of the present invention include acrylic acid or methacrylic acid esters such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and methyl methacrylate, acrylamide, and the like. Methacrylamide and their alkyl-substituted products and nitrogen-substituted products, vinylpyridines such as 2-vinylpyridine, 2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine, styrene and their alkyl-substituted products or even vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, Monomers such as vinyl bromide, vinylidene bromide, and vinylidene bromide can be exemplified, but are not necessarily limited thereto.
Usually, the molecular weight (average molecular weight) of the single polymer acrylonitrile or the copolymer acrylonitrile is appropriately selected from the range of 15,000 to 150,000 (generally 25,000 to 80,000).
In the present invention, the composition of the spinning stock solution is a polymer containing a thermochromic pigment in a spinning stock solution of 5 to 30% by weight (preferably about 10 to 20% by weight) of an acrylonitrile polymer, 30 to 60% by weight of rhodan salt or zinc chloride. 0.5 to 40% by weight (preferably 1 to 20% by weight) can be dispersed. Furthermore, general pigments, glittering materials and the like can be added.
The spinning dope is extruded from 45 to 75 ° C. through a spinning nozzle into a coagulating liquid such as a dilute rhodan salt aqueous solution, solidified, and subjected to known water washing, stretching, heat treatment, drying, and further steps such as crimping and oil treatment. Fiber and eggplant.
As thermochromic pigment, applying the pigment in microencapsulated form, it is easily dispersible and has a resistance at the time of preparation of the spinning dope, inter alia, pigments having a non-circular cross-sectional shape, the fiber formation by spinning process and drawing In the process, pressure and high heat are applied, but the stress is relieved by its own elastic deformation, and in addition, the microcapsules are destroyed due to the property that the microcapsule pigment itself is easily oriented in the longitudinal direction during fiberization. And a fiber satisfying the desired thermochromic function can be obtained.
The fiber diameter in the present invention is 100 μm or less, preferably 30 μm or less, and can be put into practical use in the form of tow, staple or other desired fibers by the same treatment as general-purpose non-thermochromic acrylic fibers.
In the wet spinning, in order to obtain a fiber diameter of 30 μm or less, when satisfying the relationship d <D ≦ 20d (where d is the particle diameter of the pigment and D is the fiber diameter), the fiber spinning is continuous and stable. It was found that fiber formation was possible.
[0014]

【The invention's effect】
The thermochromic acrylic synthetic fiber obtained by the method for producing the thermochromic acrylic synthetic fiber of the present invention is one in which a specific amount of a thermochromic pigment having a specific particle diameter is contained in a dispersed state in the fiber. Therefore, compared to a system in which a thermochromic pigment is fixed to the surface with a binder resin, it satisfies the durability such as washing resistance, scratch resistance, light resistance and the characteristics of acrylic fiber, texture, Bulkiness and other fiber characteristics are not impaired, and practicality is satisfied. It has the same fiber characteristics as general-purpose acrylic fibers, and is applied to the toy field such as garments, carpets, blankets, curtains, and stuffed animals.
As thermochromic pigments, to apply the pigment in microencapsulated form, resistant during the preparation of the spinning dope may be dispersible, further, the spinning process is effective even in the heat treatment process, among others, The system having a non-circular cross-sectional shape is rich in elastic deformability due to external pressure, and the pressure due to its own elastic deformation against the pressure in the blending process and the pressure in the fiberizing process. In addition, there is no risk of the microcapsules being destroyed in combination with the property that the microcapsule pigment itself is easily oriented in the longitudinal direction at the time of fiberization, and it is effectively expressed without impairing the desired thermochromic function.
