  • Patent number: 6245876
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuous shaped article such as a polyurethaneurea fiber and a polyurethaneurea film having a birefringence index (&Dgr;n) of from at least 1.0×10−4 to 8.0×10−4 in a nontensile state, a crosslinking density at an elongation of 100% (N100) of at least 5.0×1026/m3, a crosslinking point density at an elongation of 400% (N400) of from 4.0×1026 to 3.0×1027/m3, and a crosslinking point density at the time of breakage (Nt) of at least 1.6×1027/m3, wherein the ratio of the crosslinking density at an elongation of 400% to that at an elongation of 100% (N400/N100) is from 0.9 to 1.3, and a process for producing the same. The present invention has made the continuous shaped article show an initial stress, a strength at break and an elongation at break which are sufficiently high, and a small rise in the stress in the medium elongation range.
