Abstract: A continuous process for the recycling of aramid fiber comprising the following steps: combining aramid fibrous material including non-continuous aramid fibers with sulfuric acid to obtain a spin dope comprising aramid, and processing the spin dope including aramid into a continuous aramid fiber. The invention also pertains to a continuous aramid fiber, preferably obtainable by said process, and to a multifilament yarn including the continuous aramid fiber.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a fiber including meta-aramid having a breaking tenacity of at least 300 mN/tex including the steps of preparing a spin dope including meta-aramid and sulfuric acid having a concentration of at least 80 wt % and passing the spin dope through a spinneret into a coagulation bath, wherein the spin dope has a meta-aramid concentration of at least 10 wt %. The invention also pertains to a meta-aramid fiber, a multifilament yarn, a textile sheet and protective clothing.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a fiber including polyetherketoneketone including the steps of: mixing polyetherketoneketone and sulfuric acid having a concentration of at least 90 wt % to obtain a spin dope and passing the spin dope through a spinneret into a coagulation bath, wherein the polyetherketoneketone is dissolved in the sulfuric acid to a concentration of 12 to 22 wt %. Also disclosed are fibers obtainable by the process and polyetherketoneketone fibers having a sulfur content of 0.001 to 5 wt %, based on the weight of the fiber, in particular such fibers having low or high crystallinity, as well as, hybrid yarns and composite materials.

Abstract: A polyarylene fiber including 0.1-15% based on the weight of the fiber of an aromatic compound or a combination of aromatic compounds wherein each aromatic compound comprises an aromatic core and at least one of the substituents A or B, where A is represented by formula 1 and B is represented by formula 2 Also, a spin dope and a process for manufacturing a polyarylene fiber.
