Benefits of technology

The present invention is a fiber structure that can manage humidity effectively and make you more comfortable than before.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, these synthetic fibers are low in moisture absorbency and water absorbency, which actually limits their applications to clothing which are required to be absorbent of moisture and water, such as underwear, intermediate garment, bed sheets, and towels.
However, according to these methods, the moisture absorbency and water absorbency are insufficiently improved, and the properties provided to the fibers are deteriorated by washing.

example 1

[0041](Production of Polyamide Fibers)

[0042]Nylon-6 having a reduced viscosity of 1.80 dL / g (at a concentration of 1 g / dL in orthoclorophenol at 30° C.) was used as a polyamide component (component A), and a thermoplastic modified polyvinyl alcohol (modified PVA) (product of Kuraray Co., Ltd. having a saponification degree of 98.5, an ethylene content of 8.0 mol %, and a degree of polymerization of 390) was used as a soluble component (component B). The components A and B were separately melted in different extruders, and a conjugated fiber having a cross section shown in FIG. 1 was injected through a multi-component fiber-spinning nozzle with a ratio of nylon-6:modified PVA set at 60:40 (weight ratio). Subsequently, a thread injected through a spinneret was cooled using a horizontal cooling air blower having a length of 1.0 m. Thereafter, water-free spinning oil including, as its components, an anti-static agent and a lubricating agent was applied to the thread. The thread was then...

example 2

[0065]A polyamide fiber was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that polyethylene terephthalate (copolymerized PET) having a limiting viscosity number [1] of 0.52 dL / g and copolymerized with 8 wt. % of polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 2000 and 5 mol % of 5-sodium sulfoisophthalic acid was used as the component B. The degree of orientation, the moisture absorption rate, the water absorption extension rate, and the crimp extension rate of this polyamide fiber were measured, and the evaluation of knitted fabric of the fiber was performed through a wear test. The results of these measurements and evaluation are shown in Table 1.

examples 3 and 4

[0066]As shown in Table 1, a polyamide fiber of each of these examples was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that nylon-6,6 (Example 3) or nylon-6 / 12 (Example 4) was used as the component A. For each fiber, the degree of orientation, the moisture absorption rate, the water absorption extension rate, and the crimp extension rate were measured, and the evaluation of knitted fabric of each fiber was performed through a wear test. The results of these measurements and evaluation are shown in Table 1.

Abstract

Disclosed is a polyamide fiber having a degree of orientation equal to or higher than 0.7 and equal to or lower than 0.85. The polyamide fiber is suitably obtained by forming a polyamide component having high moisture absorbency and a specific soluble component into a conjugated fiber under specific fiber formation conditions.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a polyamide fiber for forming, for example, clothing for sports and underwear, and a fiber structure formed using the polyamide fiber.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Known synthetic fibers, for example, polyester fibers, and polyamide fibers such as nylon-6 and nylon-6,6, are used not only for clothing, but also for a wide range of industrial purposes due to their good physical and chemical properties. These fibers are of high industrial value.[0003]Unfortunately, these synthetic fibers are low in moisture absorbency and water absorbency, which actually limits their applications to clothing which are required to be absorbent of moisture and water, such as underwear, intermediate garment, bed sheets, and towels. In view of this, for polyester fibers, for example, some methods have been proposed for improving the low moisture absorbency and water absorbency, which can be referred to as the main shortcoming of the polyester fibers.[0004]More sp...
