Abstract: Disclosed is a film constituted of a polyester, said film having a degree of roll set curl of not higher than 135 m.sup.-1 after being subjected to heat treatment, and having a degree of recovery curl of not higher than 45 m.sup.-1 after being subjected to hot water bath treatment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a support for a photographic material which comprises a multilayer film in which a layer of a copolymerized polyester is laminated on at least one surface of a polyester layer, wherein the copolymerized polyester contains an aromatic dicarboxylic acid having a metal sulfonate group as a copolymer component in an amount of 2 to 7 mole % based on all ester bond units and further a polyalkylene glycol as a copolymer component in an amount of 3 to 10% by weight based on the total weight of a polyester which is a reaction product.

Abstract: Flame resistant acrylic fibers are produced by, in a solution polymerization of a mixture consisting of 30-80% by weight of acrylonitrile, 20-70% by weight of vinyl chloride or vinylidene chloride and 0-15% by weight of the other unsaturated monomer in a solvent of dimethylformamide, adding a polymer (referred to as blendmer) consisting of acrylonitrile, vinyl chloride or vinylidene chloride and an anionic monomer and zinc salt of an aromatic sulfonic acid prior to starting of the polymerization, subjecting the resulting mixture to the solution polymerization, removing unreacted monomers from the formed polymer solution, adding sulfur dioxide and adding water to adjust water content, spinning the thus formed spinning solution into an aqueous solution of dimethylformamide.
