- ABSTRACT Primary Examiner-Donald J. Arnold Assistant Examiner-James B. Lowe Attorney-Cushman, Darby & Cushman [5 7] ABSTRACT ,heated at a temperature higher than 160 C. up to about 240 C. at a constant length for 2 to 6 hours, and subsequently drawn at a drawing ratio of at least 3:1 at a temperature generally in the range of about 220 C. up to about 420 C.
- the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of fibers from a polymer containing in the chain both amide and imide linkages derived from a tricarbonyl compound such as a tri-acid or acid-anhydride.
- these filaments and fibers are made by a process which comprises extruding through a spinneret maintained at 60 to 180C in an evaporatory atmosphere, maintained at a temperature about or greater than the boiling point of the solvent, a solution in an organic polar solvent having an inherent viscosity greater than 0.4 and containing amide-imide linkages of the formula /Arl-oco and optionally also amide linkages of the formula represents a divalent aromatic, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, or arylaliphatic radical, Ar represents a divalent aromatic radical (optically with a minor proportion of divalent aliphatic or cyclcaliphatic radicals), and Ar, represents a trivalent aromatic radical containing at least six carbon atoms; heating the filaments obtained to a temperature higher than 160 C; and drawing the filaments at a temperature higher than the temperature corresponding to the maximum in absolute value of the first derivative of the function expressing the variation of the maximum drawing tension as a function of the temperature, and preferably near
- polyamide-imides can be obtained by reaction in substantially stoichiometric proportions in a polar organic solvent of at least one aromatic diisocyanate and an acid reactant containing at least an aromatic anhydride-acid and optionally also at least one di-acid which may be aromatic, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, or acylaliphatic.
- Suitable diisocyanates which can be used to obtain these polymers include, more particularly, monocyclic diisocyanates such as tolylene diisocyanate and the bicyclic preferably symmetrical, diisocyanates, such as diphenylmethane diisocyanate, diphenylpropane diisocyanate, and diphenylether diisocyanate.
- An aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diisocyanate may optionally be added to the aromatic diisocyanate in minor proportions so as to improve certain properties of the polymer such as solubility, or the flexibility or elasticity of articles made from it.
- the process of the present invention it is possible to use the polyamide-imide solution in the form in which it is obtained, or to separate the polymer so as to remove by-products formed in the course of the polycondensation, and then to re-dissolve the polymer before it is extruded.
- Suitable polar organic solvents which can be used in the present invention include dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, hexamethylphosphotriamide, tetramethylenesulphone, and preferably N-methylpyrrolidone.
- the polyamide-imides used in the present invention must have an inherent viscosity greater than 0.4, but preferably not greater than 1.6. This inherent viscosity is measured at 25 C. on an 0.5 percent weight for volume solution in the solvent used in the preparation of the polyamide-imide Polymers having an inherent viscosity from 0.8 to 1.4 are preferably used.
- the polyamide-imide solutions used in the new process preferably have a viscosity of 300 to 6,000 poises at 25 C (measured with a Drage viscometer using speed II and mobile 47.2)
- the solution has a viscosity from 1,500 to 3,000 poises to ensure stable spinning together with good filtration and easy transport of the solution.
- the solution spun should contain a polymer concentration of 15 to 35 percent by weight and preferably 19 to 30 percent by weight, and it can also contain various adjuvants such as pigments and dulling agents.
- the circuit through which the solution is fed to the head of the spinneret can be heated or not depending on the viscosity of the polymer solution.
- the temperature of the feed circuit is kept at about ambient temperature.
- the temperature of the solution on extrusion must be between and 180 C., and is preferably between 90 and 1 C.
- the speed of spinning can vary within wide limits, and may be generally fixed between 100 and 400 meters per minute, preferably 150 to 200 meters per minute. This speed is chosen as a function of the titre of each filament and the number of strands spun.
- the filaments contain from 5 to percent of solvent on leaving the evaporation chamber. If desired, the filaments maybe subjected, either in the spinning cell or immediately after leaving it, to a predrawing operation to a small degree before receiving the thermal treatment in accordance with the new process.
- the filaments receive, a thermal treatment before being drawn.
- This thermal treatment at a temperature higher than 160 C. can be carried out in an inert gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide or in a mixture of air and inert gas, optionally under reduced pressure. It can be effected using any appropriate apparatus.
- the filament can be collected on metallic supports whichare then introduced into a zone heated to more than 160 C. This zone is preferably sealed and connected to an evacuation device so that the pressure in the zone can be'reduced.
- the zone can also be provided with tuyeres so that air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or another inert gas can be swept through the zone.
- the thermal treatment can also be effected on heated rolls rotated at a speed such that the treatment can be carried out continuously. If desired, these rolls can be enclosed in a zone in which hot air or inert gas is circulated and optionally the pressure is reduced.
- the thermal treatment is preferably carried out while the filaments are maintained at constant length.
- This treatment causes in the polymer constituting the filaments physical and/or chemical modifications which cause the filaments to possess, after drawing, excellent mechanical properties.
- the :solvent content of the filaments is reduced to the levels of the order of 3 percent or less. This reduction in solvent content is not, however, the
- the duration of the heat treatment varies as a function of the temperature and the titre of the filaments. At l60 C., it lasts for at least 2 hours.
- the filaments are drawn at a temperature higher than the temperature corresponding to the maximum value in absolute terms of the first derivative of the function expressing the variation of maximum drawing tension as a function of temperature.
- the temperature of drawing should be close to or even greater than the temperature corresponding to the maximum algebraic value of the first derivative of said function expressing the maximum drawing tension as a function of temperature.
- the polyamide-imide filaments and fibers obtained according to the invention have a good tensile strength of at least 30 g/tex, a low moisture absorption, a good dimensional stability, and a very good resistance to acids. They can be used for all usages where these qualities are particularly important, such as in medical and hospital use where good resistance to successive sterilizations is required, and for work garments for foundry workers, glass workers and chemists.
- the following Examples illustrate the invention. In the Examples the percentages are by weight except where otherwise indicated.
- the Drage viscosity is measured with a Drage viscometer using speed 11 and mobile 47.2.
- the inherent viscosity is measured at 25 C. on a 0.5 percent weight for volume solution in N- methylpyrrolidone.
- EXAMPLE 1 A 26.5 percent solution in N-methylpyrrolidone of a copolyamide-imide is obtained by reaction of diphenylmethanediisocyanate (50 molar parts), trimellitic anhydride (40 molar parts), and terephthalic acid (10 molar parts).
- the Drage viscosity at 25 C. of this solution is 2,380 poises and the inherent viscosity of the polymer is 0.93.
- the filaments leave the cell at a speed of meters per minute and are then taken up on a roll at a speed of meters per minute and finally wound up on a metallic support at a speed of meters perminute.
- the filaments on the support are then introduced into a zone maintained at 240 C. containing nitrogen under reduced pressure, where they remain for 6 hours.
- the pressure in the zone is periodically varied in the following manner: l-2 mm Hg for 45 minutes; 50 mm Hg for 15 minutes; and this alternation of pressures is maintained for the duration of the treatment.
- the maximum drawing tension of the filaments during their passage through an oven heated successively to different temperatures is measured. For each temperature the tension of the filaments is measured just before rupture using a Rothschild tensiometer. The curve expressing the variation of this maximum drawing tension as a function of temperature is then drawn. It is shown in FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings. The derivative of this curve at each point is then calcu lated and FIG. 2 shows that this derivative has a maximum absolute value at 220 C 4.75 and a maximum algebraic value at about 300 C. (+0.75).
- the drawing temperature being higher than the temperature corresponding to the maximum absolute value of the curve expressing the rate of change of maximum drawing tension with temperature against the temperature, the rate of change being determined by measuring the slope of the curve of maximum drawing tension versus temperature. See FIGS. 1 and 2.
