Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional polyamide resins are used in fishing lines, then the filaments can be manufactured with standard properties, but the maintenance rate of linear strength and knot strength after water absorption treatment deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the chemical composition parameters of the polyamide resin by specifying that 70 mol% or more of the diamine constituent units are derived from xylylene diamine and 70 mol% or more of the dicarboxylic acid constituent units are derived from α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 11 to 14 carbons. This parameter change in molecular structure improves the maintenance rate of strength properties after water absorption treatment while maintaining manufacturability
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a composite polyamide resin system combining xylylene diamine units with α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid units (11-14 carbons). This composite molecular structure creates a filament that maintains high linear strength and knot strength after water absorption, resolving the contradiction between reliability and strength retention
2Reliability
If polyamide resin is used to ensure durability in fishing lines, then the filament can withstand mechanical stress, but the strength maintenance after water absorption deteriorates due to water uptake
Solution Approach 1:
The invention modifies the molecular parameters of the polyamide resin by incorporating xylylene diamine (70 mol% or more) and α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid with 11-14 carbons (70 mol% or more). This parameter optimization reduces water absorption effects while maintaining durability, allowing the filament to maintain 90% or more of its linear strength and 70% or more of its knot strength after water absorption treatment
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces specific local chemical structure characteristics into the polyamide resin - the xylylene diamine units provide aromatic ring structures that enhance strength maintenance, while the specific chain-length dicarboxylic acid units (11-14 carbons) provide optimal balance between durability and water resistance at the molecular level
