Abstract:
In a method for producing a soft sheet material containing thinned fibers or filaments and a viscoelastic substance, the improvement comprising: (A) applying a mixture of a viscoelastic substance and a temporary filler to a sheet Material containing thinnable fibers or filaments; (B) thinning the thinnable fibers or filaments forming said sheet material; (B') applying temporary filler to said sheet material or relocating said temporary filler applied previously at step (A) within said sheet material, whenever necessary; (C) applying a viscoelastic substance; (D) removing said temporary filler; and (E) napping the sheet, whenever necessary, to thereby obtain a leatherlike sheet Material which, though soft, has good mechanical properties such as high abrasion resistance and high tear strength. A leather-like sheet material is produced which is free from deficiencies such as low abrasion resistance and tear strength even where the thickness is further reduced.
Abstract:
Disclosed are polyphenylene sulfone fibers mainly consisting of a structural unit represented by the general formula (wherein x is 0 or 1 or 2, ?, the average value of x is 1.0 to 2.0 and the bond attached to the benzene ring is in the para- or meta-position with respect to the SOx group). The fibers can be obtained by oxidizing polyphenylene sulfide fibers mainly consisting of a structural unit represented by the formula (wherein the bond attached to the benzene ring is in the para- or meta-position with respect to the S atom) with an organic peracid. The fibers of the present invention have very excellent heat resistance and chemicals resistance and are useful for the production of woven, knitted or n-on-woven sheets or fabrics, particularly filters for refining concentrated sulfuric acid or nitric acid.

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject fiber resistant to heat and chemicals, having high knot strength by oxidizing highly oriented polyphenylene sulfide fibers having specific structure using an organic peracid. CONSTITUTION:Polyphenylene sulfide fibers of >=20Angstrom crystal size and >=60% orientation degree pref. comprising ultrafine fibers is first produced by high- speed spinning at >=4000m/min of a polymer composed of structural unit of formula I. The fibers is then put to oxidation treatment using an organic peracid (pref. peracetic acid) to convert the structural unit to a new structural unit of formula II, thus obtaining the objective polyphenylene sulfone fibers comprising ultrafine fibers of >=20Angstrom crystal size and >=60% orientation degree. The fibers is highly resistant to heat and chemicals such as concentrated sulfuric or nitric acid and also rich in flexibility, and can be suitably used for filters, etc., in sectors being required for heat and chemical resistances.

PURPOSE:To obtain a sheet-like article having excellent heat resistance and chemical resistance by combining a sheet-like article consisting of a fiber having a recurring unit of paraphenylene sulfone with a binder having specific characteristics. CONSTITUTION:A binder unmelting or being >=300 deg.C in melting point and having heat resistance and chemical resistance, e.g. a resin consisting of polyparaphenylene sulfone expressed by the formula [X is 0-2 and the ratio of recurring unit in which X is 2 is >=70% (sulfonated ratio)] is applied to a fiber, e.g. nonwoven fabric (or woven fabric) consisting of polyparaphenylene sulfone expressed by the above-mentioned formula and the resin-coated fiber is thermally cured to provide the objective fiber sheet-like article having excellent heat resistance, and chemical resistance. Furthermore, when the binder is polyimide, the sheet-like article having extremely excellent heat resistance is obtained and when the binder is tetrafluoroethylene resin, the sheet-like article having excellent chemical resistance as well as excellent water repellency and oil repellency is obtained.
