Study on Characteristics of Outlast Acrylic Fiber

Abstract:

To analyze the structure and performance of Outlast acrylic fiber, the fiber structure was observed respectively by FTIR spectra, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, the normal physical and mechanical properties were measured, and the thermo-regulated performance was investigated by differential scanning calorimeter, thermal gravimeter analysis and step cooling test. The results indicate that the structure and normal physical and mechanical properties of Outlast acrylic fiber are slightly different from that of normal acrylic fiber. Both the melting peak and crystallization peak of Outlast acrylic fiber are single peaks, and the phase change temperature range is applicable and the phase change enthalpy is high. The decomposition temperature of Outlast acrylic fiber is around 311.85°C. The cooling velocity of Outlast acrylic fiber decreases exponentially with the increase in time, and the thermo-regulated ability of Outlast acrylic fiber is better than that of normal acrylic fiber.
