  Abstract

Polyhydroxyamide (PHA) was synthesized using low temperature solution polymerization of 3,3'-dihydroxybenzidine (DHB) and isophthaloyl chloride (IPC) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). In order to study wet-spinning of PHA fibers, the diffusion property of DMAc in various coagulants and the effect of coagulation bath temperature were evaluated. The initial diffusion rate of DMAc, and the SEM images and mechanical properties of PHA fibers, demonstrated that the coagulation in ethanol at 20 oC was the most optimal among all the conditions examined. The tensile strength and initial modulus of PHA fibers increased, while its breaking strain decreased with increasing spin draw ratio (SDR). The wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) experiment revealed that the crystallinity of PHA fibers increased with increasing SDR. The process-structure-property relationship among PHA fibers under various coagulation conditions was also investigated.
