Abstract
Abstract High-property polyarylene-thioether fibers are provided, which simultaneously satisfy the following conditions: (a) the polyarylene-thioether is a linear polyarylene-thioether having a melt viscosity of 5,300 to 20,000 poise (at 310°C and a shear velocity of 200 second-'; (b) the fiber diameter is in the range of 1 to 50 microns; (c) the tensile strength is not less than 40 kg/sq.mm; (d) the tensile modulus of elasticity is not less than 500 kg/sq.mm; and (e) the tensile strength at 200°C is not less than 20 kg/sq.mm. - The fibers are produced by continuously melt-spinning a linear polyarylene-thioether polymer having a melt viscosity of 5,300 to 20,000 poise (at 310°C and a shear velocity of 200 second-'), continuously stretching the spun filament, and continuously heat-setting the stretched filament for 0.02 to 100 seconds at a temperature of not lower than the melting point of the polymer minus 100°C.
