Abstract
Abstract A vinylidene fluoride resin monofilament excellent in tensile strength and knot strength is further improved in abrasion resistance by heat-treating the oriented monofilament for such a short time period as to relax the orientation of only the surface portion of the monofilament. The vinylidene fluoride resin monofilament improved in abrasion resistance is characterized by a lower birefringence at the surface relative to a high average birefringence in a section perpendicular to the axis thereof.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
47 words
A vinylidene fluoride resin monofilament comprising a vinylidene fluoride resin at least in the surface layer thereof, said monofilament having a birefringence at the surface of 25×10 -3 or less and an average birefringence in a section perpendicular to the axis thereof of 33×10 -3 or greater.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
47 words
A vinylidene fluoride resin monofilament comprising a vinylidene fluoride resin at least in the surface layer thereof, said monofilament having a birefringence at the surface of 25×10 -3 or less and an average birefringence in a section perpendicular to the axis thereof of 33×10 -3 or greater.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The monofilament according to claim 1, which entirely comprises a vinylidene fluoride resin throughout the section perpendicular to the axis thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
The monofilament according to claim 2, which comprises a laminate structure having a surface layer comprising a vinylidene fluoride resin of a lower molecular weight and an interior covered within the surface layer comprising a vinylidene fluoride resin of a higher molecular weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
The monofilament according to claim 1, which comprises a laminate structure having a surface layer comprising a vinylidene fluoride resin and an interior covered within the surface layer comprising a thermoplastic resin other than the vinylidene fluoride resin.
