Definitions
- Acrylic fibers having excellent pilling resistance are disclosed.
- the acrylic fibers have a plurality of elongated wedge-shaped concave depressions extending into the fiber surface. And the acrylic fibers are produced by pre-treating acrylic fibers with a modifier to modify the outer layer of individual fiber and then after-treating the fibers with an organic solvent for acrylic fiber.
- FIG. 4A is a diagrammatic representation of FIG. 4A
- the present invention relates to acrylic fibers having a plurality of elongated wedge shaped concave depressions extending into the fiber surface and process for producing the same n V V v H V 7
- the term fibers herein used includes the staple fibers, spun yarns, tow, knitted fabrics and woven fab- I'ICS.
- A. fibers have various excellent physical and chemical properties so that the fibers have been used in many fields including clothes.
- acrylic fibers have a defect that when the knitted or woven fabrics made of acrylic fibers are worn for long time or put under an action of rubbing such as washing, pills are formed on the surface of the fabrics. This phenomenon is well known as pilling and the pills spoil the beautiful appearance of the fabrics. Therefore, prevention of pilling has been earnestly desired.
- the method has been used of making the fiber surface rough by embossing the fibers.
- the acrylic fibers obtained by this method has not been satisfied from the point of pilling resistance.
- an object of the present invention is to provide acrylic fibers having excellent pilling resistance.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing acrylic fibers having excellent pilling resistance.
- acrylic fibers having excellent pilling resistance as well as other excellent fiber properties can be produced without losing the preferable fiber properties of acrylic fiber.
- FIGS. 1, 2 and'3 are scanning electron microscopic photographs showing the concave depressions formed into the surface of fibers.
- FIG. 4 is to illustrate the method of measuring depth of the depression.
- the concave depressions shown in scanning electron microphotographs of FIGS. 1 and 2 are somewhat different from the definite rhombic concaves shown in the photograph of FIG. 3 and this is due to the difference in spinning conditions. Therefore, the elongated wedge shaped concaves into the surface of the fibers of the present invention include those having the shapes as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and those having the shape as shown in FIG. 3.
- Acrylic fibers of the present invention have a plurality of elongated wedge shaped concave depressions described hereinbefore.
