  • Patent number: 8444757
    Abstract: This invention provides fibers made from a thermoplastic cellulose ester composition, which can maintain excellent mechanical properties still after high temperature dyeing treatment, especially suitable as fibers mixed with polyester fibers or as fabrics woven or knitted together with polyester fibers, and also provides the thermoplastic cellulose ester composition constituting the fibers. For example, this invention provides a thermoplastic cellulose ester composition containing at least 70 to 95 wt % of a cellulose fatty acid mixed ester with an average substitution degree of 2.4 to 2.8, 5 to 25 wt % of a plasticizer and 1 to 10 wt % of a cellulose acetate with an average substitution degree of 2.3 to 2.6, and also provides fibers made from the thermoplastic cellulose ester composition.

  • Patent number: 8298464
    Abstract: A fabric consisting of a cellulose mixed ester fiber having an appropriate strength, fiber diameter, uniformity of fineness, and Tg, is used. A fiber consisting of 80 to 95 wt % of said cellulose mixed ester and 5 to 20 wt % of one or more water-soluble plasticizers selected from the group of polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, poly(ethylene-propylene) glycol, and end-capped polymers produced from them, is produced and said water-soluble plasticizers are removed by aqueous treatment to improve the heat resistance and strength, thereby providing a fabric having beautiful appearance achieved by color development properties and uniform fineness.
