THE IMPORTANCE OF COAGULATION BATH IN ACRYLIC FIBER PRODUCTION

Abstract

In the production of acrylic fibers using wet-spinning method, fiber formation takes places in the coagulation bath. Therefore, physical properties of the fibers, produced by the wet-spinning method, is affected by coagulation bath conditions. For this reason, coagulation bath parameters have to be checked very well. In this paper, both the physical events such as diffusion and phase transition, occured in the coagulation bath, and some coagulation bath parameters that affect these physical events are studied. Furthermore, it is tried to express their affects on the physical characteristics of the fibers
