A polar solvent solution of the present invention is a polar solvent solution in which a solute containing a polyamine acid is dissolved in a polar solvent. The solution has a moisture content of less than 5 mass % based on 100 mass % of the solution. A method for producing a polar solvent solution of the present invention includes changing a moisture content of the solution to adjust the viscosity of the solution. Further, another method for producing a polar solvent solution includes reducing a moisture content of the solution to increase the viscosity of the solution. Thus, the present invention provides a polar solvent solution that enables stable spinning and casting without lowering its viscosity when used as dopes for spinning, film, etc., and methods for producing the same.

Polar solvent solution and production method thereof

A polar solvent solution of the present invention is a polar solvent solution in which a solute containing a polyamine acid is dissolved in a polar solvent. An inorganic salt is added to the solution, and a mole ratio of moisture to the inorganic salt in the solution is 2.5&#xd7;m&#xd7;n or less, where m represents the number of cations forming the inorganic salt and n represents a charge number of the cation. A production method of the present invention is a method for producing the above solution, including: changing at, least one of a moisture content and a content of the inorganic salt in the solution to adjust a viscosity of the solution. Thus, the present invention provides a polar solvent solution whose viscosity can be easily adjusted to a desired value and thus enables stable spinning and casting when used as dopes for spinning, film, etc., and methods for producing the same.
