Process of mixing a fugitive plasticizer, e.g., ethylene carbonate, with moist particulate polyacrylonitrile then removing the water enabling adjustment of the melt viscosity for extrusion of the polyacrylonitrile into film, fiber, pellets and shaped articles. Stretching and heating the extruded polyacrylonitrile film or fiber causes the fugitive plasticizer to exude and vaporize from the film or fiber, carrying with it any remaining acrylonitrile monomer. The resulting film or fiber exhibits substantially increased molecular weight, thus enhancing the tensile strength and barrier properties of the polyacrylonitrile product. The process also produces polyacrylonitrile foam products. A novel cross-linking agent for polyacrylonitrile, divinyloxybutane, is disclosed. Thermostabilizing agents for polyacrylonitrile, N-maleimides and stilbene derivatives, are also disclosed.

A method for wrapping a label about a container by employing a solvent activated adhesive composition. The method includes either a shrink wrap method, a mandrel wrapping method or a method employing a preformed roll of flat seamed tubular film. The roll of flat seamed tubular film is bonded at its seam by solvent activated adhesive. A roll for any of these methods with such adhesive, and a container covered by a film which includes strips of such adhesive is provided. A preferred adhesive comprises thermoplastic polyurethane with or without suitable additive.
