PDF Modification of Fiber and Polymer Materials using Super Critical Fluid and Radiation Techniques

【Supercategory:2. Fiber manufacturing Subcategory:2.3 Fiber modification

 General purpose and high performance fibers are dyed and functions such hydrophilicity, water-repellency, flame retardancy, and electric conductivity are added to the fibers in supercritical CO2 which highly diffuses into fiber and plasticize it, instead of conventional process medium, water. The fibers are also improved by exposing to radiations causing high energy or functionalized with polymer grafting induced by radiation, which are highly durable.
