| Abstract: | Nylon-6 POY was solvent textured at room temperature in a chemomechanical process with the aid of phenol, acetic acid and formic acid. The properties and fine structure of solvent-textured nylon-6 POY were studied and compared with the properties of the base POY yarn as wellas with the conventional thermally draw-textured yarn. Yarns solvent-textured with phenol give highest bulk and crimp rigidity and lowest residual shrinkage. They also show high crystallinity but considerable loss in breaking tenacity. Acetic acid-textured sample shows significant shrinkage but unacceptable yarn properties. Formic acid shows results in between those obtained from acetic acid and phenol treatments. The extent of γ-form is reduced in all cases of solvent texturing; however, γ-form content of solvent-textured nylon-6 is found to be higher than that of thermal draw-textured nylon-6. |
