Publication number: 20040155377Abstract: There is disclosed an acrylic fiber (a) consisting of an acrylonitrile polymer comprising an acrylonitrile unit in at least 80 wt % and less than 95 wt %, (b) having a monofilament dry strength of 2.5 to 4.0 cN/dtex, (c) having a monofilament dry elongation of 35 to 50 %, and (d) forming a crack with a length of 20 &mgr;m or more in its tension rupture lateral surface along the filament axis direction when rupturing the monofilament in a tension test. The fiber has even orientation in its surface and inside; is significantly improved in dry strength, dry elongation and dyeability; and exhibits wool-like hand feeling. It is, therefore, quite suitable as a synthetic fiber for various applications such as a garment material, e.g., a sweater and a home furnishing material such as a pile.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2004Publication date: August 12, 2004Applicant: Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukio Kasabo, Katsuhiko Ikeda, Yasuyuki Fujii, Yoshihiko Mishina, Ryo Ochi

Patent number: 5390274Abstract: A distributed refractive index type optical transmission plastic article has a circular cross section of a radius r.sub.0 which is in a range of 0.4 to 0.6 mm. A refractive index distribution of the optical transmission article substantially approximates a predetermined ideal refractive index distribution curve at least in a range of 0.25r.sub.0 to 0.70r.sub.0 extending from a center axis toward a peripheral surface of the article. A refractive index n.sub.0 at a central part of the article is in a range of 1.4 to 1.6. The article has a refractive index distribution constant of larger than 0.15 mm.sup.-1 and smaller than 0.3 mm.sup.-1, and a modulation transfer function of at least 55%. This optical transmission article is made from uncured liquid substances each having a viscosity of between 10.sup.3 and 10.sup.8 poises.

Patent number: 4799761Abstract: A plastic optical transmission element having a body in which the refractive index varies continuously in a radial direction from the interior toward the surface of the body, may be free from the troubles derived from irregularity of the index distribution and flare by having a layer containing a light-absorbing substance under the surface thereof. Such a layer may be formed by contacting an untreated element with a solvent containing the light absorbing substance, when the solvent is selected so as to be capable of at least partially dissolving the plastic of the element.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1987Date of Patent: January 24, 1989Assignee: Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Yamamoto, Yoshihiko Mishina, Masaaki Oda
