An in-situ hydrophobically modified aramid nano aerogel fiber as well as a preparation method and uses thereof are provided. The preparation method includes: providing an aramid nano spinning solution; preparing a hydrophobically modified aramid nano aerogel fiber by using a spinning technology, wherein the coagulating bath adopted by the spinning technology includes a first organic solvent and a halogenated reagent including a monochloroalkane, a monochloroalkane, a dibromoalkane, a dichloroalkane and a trichloroalkane; and then drying to obtain the in-situ hydrophobically modified aramid nano aerogel fiber. The in-situ hydrophobically modified aramid nano aerogel fiber has a unique three-dimensional porous network structure, low heat conductivity, high porosity, high tensile strength and elongation at break, a certain spinnability and structure stability, and can be applied to the field of textiles. A fabric knitted with the hydrophobic fibers has a self-cleaning ability.

A nylon 6.6 yarn suitable for a tire cord reinforcement for pneumatic tires includes higher than 12,0 g/dtex Tensile Reinforcement Index (TRI) and tenacity between 9,3 g/dtex-10,5 g/dtex, where the TRI is defined as: TRI (g/dtex)=Tenacity (g/dtex) +Stress at 7% Elongation. The nylon 6.6 yarn is suitable for using as tire cord reinforcement in pneumatic tires.

Various implementations include a filament that includes three lobes that extend from a central portion of the filament, and the central portion defines an axial void. Each lobe bulges outwardly at its proximal end adjacent the central portion and has edges that form a continuous concave curve toward its distal end relative to an axis A-A that extends through the distal end of the respective lobe and the central portion of the filament. Thus, a width of each lobe at the proximal end thereof is greater than a width of each lobe at or adjacent the distal end, and adjacent edges of adjacent lobes intersect each other at concave proximal ends of the adjacent edges.
