Abstract
Abstract An acrylic fiber having linen- or cotton-like feeling, dry feeling, a high hygroscopicity and a high water retentivity, which is characterized in that said fiber is covered on the outside with creases running along the fiber axis, adjacent creases being 0.1 to 5 mu apart on the average; has in any of its cross-sections two or more macrovoids, 2 mu or more in major diameter, which extend in the direction of fiber axis; and said fiber has 30 to 150 microcrimps per 25 mm of fiber length. A method for producing such a fiber is also disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A method for producing an acrylic fiber, which comprises wet-spinning a spinning solution having a viscosity of about 30 to 60 poises, as measured at 50° C. and containing acrylonitrile polymer, under such spinning conditions that the ratio of spinning draft to maximum spinning draft is in the range of 0.5 to 0.9 and subjecting the spun filament to successive washing, drawing and drying treatments to produce a fiber which is covered on the outside with creases running along the fiber axis, adjacent creases being 0.1 to 5μ apart on the average; which has in any of its cross-sections two or more macrovoids, 2μ or more in major diameter, which extend in the direction of fiber axis; and which has 30 to 150 microcrimps per 25 mm of fiber length.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
130 words
A method for producing an acrylic fiber, which comprises wet-spinning a spinning solution having a viscosity of about 30 to 60 poises, as measured at 50° C. and containing acrylonitrile polymer, under such spinning conditions that the ratio of spinning draft to maximum spinning draft is in the range of 0.5 to 0.9 and subjecting the spun filament to successive washing, drawing and drying treatments to produce a fiber which is covered on the outside with creases running along the fiber axis, adjacent creases being 0.1 to 5μ apart on the average; which has in any of its cross-sections two or more macrovoids, 2μ or more in major diameter, which extend in the direction of fiber axis; and which has 30 to 150 microcrimps per 25 mm of fiber length.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A method for producing an acrylic fiber according to claim 1, wherein the spinning is performed by the method for producing a conjugate fiber of the side-by-side type using two acrylic polymers different in thermal contraction coefficient.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method for producing an acrylic fiber according to claim 1, characterized by drying at a temperature of about 140° C.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
31 words
A method for producing an acrylic fiber according to claims 1 or 3, characterized by using, as a coagulation bath, an aqueous solution of dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide or dimethyl sulfoxide.
