Embodiment approach

[0142] 1. A method comprising:

[0143] - extruding the polymer in melt or solution through a spinneret to form a plurality of polymer fibers exiting the spinneret,

[0144] The spinneret has a plurality of holes having inlets for receiving polymer melt or polymer solution and outlets for dispensing polymer melt or polymer solution in fiber form; and

[0145] - directing the polymer fiber through an opening while still in the melt or solution to form a polymer film (or other article, such as a tube or rod) exiting the outlet of the opening, wherein the outlet of the opening has a surface area corresponding to The following formula:

[0146] SA2

[0147] in

[0148] SA represents the surface area of ​​the outlet of the opening;

[0149] N represents the number of hole outlets of the spinneret; and

[0150] D represents the diameter of the hole outlet of the spinneret.

[0151] 2. The method according to embodiment 1, wherein SA2 .

[0152] 3. The method according to any ...

Embodiment 1

[0342] The material used is Vectra TM A950. Tapes were produced by continuous extrusion at 300°C using a single-screw extruder equipped with a self-made die similar to that of Fig. Part of the spinneret, the hole has an inlet and an outlet each having a diameter of 0.1 mm (to be substantially the same as Figure 4 The holes in the spinneret section in ® are arranged in a similar manner, but on a length of 120 mm instead of 17 mm)). Various extrusion speeds in the range of 10-60 rpm were used. The tape was collected on a winder (DACA Instruments, Santa Barbara, USA). Use various winding forces, up to a winding speed of 250m / min. Although the tape is not produced uniformly, eg contains cavities and / or has a considerable thickness variation across its width.

Embodiment 2

[0344] The experiment of Example 1 was repeated, but now using a reduced slit width outlet of 0.07mm (and a smaller variation in winding speed, ie maximum winding speed below 125m / min). Transparent tapes of good quality were produced, including tapes with a tensile modulus of 59 GPa in the stretch direction.

Abstract

Provided are dies having a first section for orienting material being pressed through the die and a second section for shaping the oriented material into a desired form. In an embodiment, the surface area for shaping the oriented material into a desired form is limited. Also provided are polymer articles and processes for making the same. In an embodiment, the processes employ the dies.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application 61 / 193514, filed December 4, 2008, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present application discloses, inter alia, polymeric articles. Additionally, the present application discloses methods for making the polymeric articles. Additionally, the present application discloses molds. Background technique [0004] Efforts have been made to produce high-performance polymer fibers. For example, for the classes of thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystal polymers there are publications in which reasonable success is reported by spinning directly from thermotropic melts or lyotropic solutions and applying relatively high winding / extrusion The velocity (stretch) ratio, which induces an elongational flow field, causes the polymer molecules to orient along the direction of flow. See, eg, Muramat...
