Abstract
Abstract Aromatic polyester fibers having high strength and high modulus of elasticity can be obtained stably for a long period of time by melt spinning by using a screw type extruder having a screw which has a compression ratio of 2.5 to 4.0 and thereby inhibiting entrapment in the resultant molten polyester of gases present in or on prowders, granules or pellets being melted, and by back pressure of the molten polyester sending gas generated by decomposition of the molten polyester to a back portion of the extruder, and then extruding and melt spinning the molten polyester at a temperature of 280° C. to 420° C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A process for melt spinning an aromatic polyester with a flow temperature of 280° to 380° C. showing optical anisotropy in the molten state, which comprises melting powders, granules or pellets of the aromatic polyester using a screw-type extruder having a compression ratio of 2.5 to 4.0; thereby inhibiting entrapment in the resultant molten polyester of gases present in or on the powders, granules or pellets being melted; and by back pressure of the molten polyester sending gas generated by decomposition of the molten polyester to a back portion of the extruder; and then extruding and melt spinning the molten polyester at a temperature of 280° C. to 420° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A process for melt spinning an aromatic polyester with a flow temperature of 280° to 380° C. showing optical anisotropy in the molten state, which comprises melting powders, granules or pellets of the aromatic polyester using a screw-type extruder having a compression ratio of 2.5 to 4.0; thereby inhibiting entrapment in the resultant molten polyester of gases present in or on the powders, granules or pellets being melted; and by back pressure of the molten polyester sending gas generated by decomposition of the molten polyester to a back portion of the extruder; and then extruding and melt spinning the molten polyester at a temperature of 280° C. to 420° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A process for melt spinning an aromatic polyester as set forth in claim 1 wherein the polyester comprises 40-70% by mole of p-hydroxybenzoic acid residual groups, 15-30% by mole of aromatic dicarboxylic acid residual groups, and 15-30% by mole of aromatic diol residual groups.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
A process for melt spinning an aromatic polyester as set forth in claim 1 wherein the polyester comprises a copolyester obtained from at least one member selected from the group consisting of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid, and at least one member selected from the group consisting of chlorohydroquinone, phenylhydroquinone, and hydroquinone.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A process for melt spinning an aromatic polyester as set forth in claim 1 wherein the polyester comprises 20-80% by mole of p-hydroxybenzoic acid residual groups and 20-80% by mole of 2-hydroxynaphthalene-6-carboxylic acid residual groups.
