A method for producing filaments of polyacrylonitrile and an extrusion head for carrying out said method are provided, wherein the method comprises preparing a polyacrylonitrile polymer solution and passing said solution through an extruder plate that determines the formation of filaments, a central chamber being defined between the extruder plate and a floating plate connected to a vibrating system, said chamber being surrounded by a peripheral chamber into which the polymer solution is introduced under pressure. The polymer solution then passes through to the central chamber via small radial conduits that accelerate the material, and is subjected to vibration in the central chamber before passing through the extruder plate.

A spinning beam for producing melt-spun filaments, in which liquid plastics material is conveyed via an externally arranged extruder to at least one pump, which conveys the liquid plastics material to at least one spin pack having a spinneret, at least the pump and the spin pack being heated by a heat transfer medium which is heated in a boiler. The pump, the boiler and an opening for receiving a spin pack are arranged in a modular assembly, which can be installed and fixed singly, or in a plurality one behind the other, in a frame of the spinning beam.

The present invention relates to a spinning nozzle apparatus for manufacturing a high-strength fiber. The spinning nozzle apparatus for manufacturing a high-strength fiber according to the present invention is designed to optimize a heating method for the spinning region of a spinning nozzle in the melt spinning process. The heat transfer method is optimized by disposing the spinning nozzle holes of spinning nozzle commercially available on the outside of, directly under the pack body and heating the spinning nozzle holes with a heating body. In addition, an instantaneous heat treatment at high temperature is adopted to control the molecular entanglement structure in the melted polymer, which enhances the drawability of the thermoplastic resin and hence improves the mechanical properties such as strength and elongation.

A process for the large-scale manufacturing vertically standing hybrid nanometer scale structures of different geometries including fractal architecture of nanostructure within a nano/micro structures made of flexible materials, on a flexible substrate including textiles is disclosed. The structures increase the surface area of the substrate. The structures maybe coated with materials that are sensitive to various physical parameters or chemicals such as but not limited to humidity, pressure, atmospheric pressure, and electromagnetic signals originating from biological or non-biological sources, volatile gases and pH.

An embodiment with the structures on a textile substrate coated with a conductive, malleable and bio-compatible sensing material for use as a biopotential measurement electrode is provided.

The present invention relates to a spinneret, and a method of heating a spinneret used for spinning cellulosic filaments from a cellulose solution in a solvent. The invention also relates to a lyocell process employing such a spinneret

A spinneret for extruding fibers includes a plate having a proximal surface and a distal surface. The spinneret includes a plurality of holes formed in the plate that extend between the proximal surface and the distal surface of the plate. The holes are spaced from one another, and each hole has a distal end that extends along a central axis. The spinneret has a plurality of contoured entrance zones formed in the proximal surface of the plate, whereby each contoured entrance zone is associated with one of the holes. Each contoured entrance zone extends distally from the proximal surface of the plate to a proximal end of the hole associated therewith. Each contoured entrance zone has substantially no planar or flat surfaces normal to the direction of the central axis of the distal end of the hole associated therewith.
