A heat resistant and/or fire retardant synthetic fiber is obtained by a process comprising immersing a polyethylene fiber into a solution of acrylic acid or impregnating a polyethylene fiber with a solution of acrylic acid and irradiating the polyethylene fiber with an ionizing radiation to graft polymerize the polyethylene fiber with at least 15%, based on the weight of the polyethylene fiber, of acrylic acid, or a process comprising irradiating a polyethylene fiber with an ionizing radiation and then immersing the polyethylene fiber into a solution of acrylic acid or impregnating the polyethylene fiber with a solution of acrylic acid to graft polymerize the polyethylene fiber with at least 15%, based on the weight of the polyethylene fiber, of acrylic acid.

Heat-resistant fiber and/or fire retardant synthetic fiber

There is disclosed a novel cell separator made of a grafted membrane comprising a polyethylene film which is graft-copolymerized with a monomer having an ion exchange group, characterized in that said membrane has an area which is not grafted at all or an area of low degree grafting. By making use of this membrane, a small size and thin cell having excellent performance as well as satisfactory mechanical strength can be produced at low cost with great advantages.

A method for manufacturing heat-resistant polyvinyl chloride fiber is given without injuring the flame-retardance of the polyvinyl chloride fiber, by grafting acrylic acid or calcium acrylate onto polyvinyl chloride by a radiation chemical process. The polyvinyl chloride fiber is irradiated either in contact with a mixture of water, ethylene dichloride and acrylic or in contact with a mixture of methanol, water, ethylene dichloride and calcium acrylate. In the case of the grafting of acrylic acid the graft fiber is subjected to a heat treatment or grafted polyacrylic acid is converted to a divalent metal salt.

Method for manufacturing heat-resistant and flame-retardant synthetic

A process is, herein, disclosed for preparing a membrane used for prevention of short-circuiting between the anode and the cathode of a battery comprising contacting a polyethylene film with an aqueous solution of acrylic acid, water, ethylene dichloride and ferrous salt or cupric salt and irradiating with ionizing radiation to obtain a polyethylene film with acrylic acid molecules grafted uniformly thereon.

Radiation grafting process for preparing a membrane for battery separator

This invention relates to a method for preparing paper board having excellent wet tensile strength and compression strength, which comprises (a) having paper board impregnated or coated with a mixture of an unsaturated vinyl ester prepolymer having a molecular weight of 300 to 3000 and having at least one hydroxyl group at the .beta.-position with respect to an ester bond in the molecule with at least one monomer selected from the group of methylacrylate, ethylacrylate and butylacrylate in a mixing weight ratio of 10:90-40:60, and (b) irradiating the paper board having the resinous mixture with electrons to cure the resinous mixture.

Method for preparing paper board having improved wet compression strength

Novel antiflaming fibers having excellent dyeability and heat resistance are prepared from a matrix-polymerized resin which comprises polymerizing acrylonitrile in the matrix of a vinyl chloride resin. A vinyl chloride resin and/or an acrylonitrile resin can be added in a specific amount to the matrix-polymerized resin when dissolved in a spinning solvent. Substantially the same fibers are also prepared from blended polymers which comprise blending a specific vinyl chloride resin and a specific acrylonitrile resin in the specific proportion, by employing the coagulation bath of an aqueous solution of calcium chloride.
