Preparation of fibres based on copolymers of acrylonitrile,methyl acrylate,and acrylic or methacrylic acid

Conclusions -- The preparation of fibres from copolymers of acrylonitrile with methyl acrylate and acrylic or methacrylic acid by spinning using the thiocyanate method has been examined.-- The possibility has been demonstrated of preparing fibres from these copolymers which have high physico-mechanical properties and the expensive, relatively scarce itaconic acid has been replaced by the cheaper and more available acrylic or methacrylic acid.Translated from Khimicheskie Volokna, No. 4, pp. 22–23, July–August, 1990.
