The present invention concerns methods for removing sulfur from yarn comprising the steps of: a) contacting never-dried polymeric yarn with an aqueous base, the polymer comprising imidazole groups and said polymer comprising sulfur atoms characterized as being in the form of sulfate anions; b) contacting the yarn with an aqueous acid solution of pH 5 or lower; and c) rinsing the yarn.

A decrease in molecular weight in molding of a polyamide is suppressed. A polyamide resin composition of the present invention includes: a polyamide having a structural unit containing an alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and an amide bond; and a compound having a cyclic structure in which first nitrogen and second nitrogen of a carbodiimide group are bonded by a bonding group. A molded polyamide resin article is produced by molding of the polyamide resin composition through heat pressurization.

The present invention provides antimicrobial and/or antiviral properties for polymers and synthetic fibers that have stain resistant properties. The synthetic fiber comprises a polymer, such as a copolymer comprising from 85 to 99.5 percent by weight of a polyamide based on the total weight of the fiber and an aromatic sulfonate or a salt thereof present in a range from 0.5 to 10 percent by weight based on the total weight of the fiber, one or more metal compounds or ions thereof dispersed within the copolymer, and a phosphorus compound.

A breathable water resistant film provided by the present disclosure includes a base cloth and a nanofiber layer disposed on the base cloth, wherein the nanofiber layer is formed by an electrospinning solution including a first additive and a second additive. The first additive includes a nylon copolymer and an alcohol, and the second additive includes a polysilazane resin and a perfluoropolyether-modified polysilazane resin.
