  Acrylic fiber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acrylic fibers are synthetic fibers made from a polymer with a weight average molecular weight of ~100,000.
The fiber is produced by dissolving the polymer in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide or aqueous sodium thiocyanate, metering it through a multi-hole spinnerette and coagulating the resultant filaments in an aqueous solution of the same solvent.
Acrylic fibers are produced in a range of deniers, typically from 1 to 15.

 Acrylic fibers having irregular-form section and process for producing the same - Patent 4455347
The acrylic fiber of claim 1, wherein the jet stretch ratio is 0.5 to 1.5, and the fiber comprises a blend of 90 to 50% by weight of substantive fiber and 10 to 50% by weight of fiber containing capillary voids.
Therefore, the acrylic fibers are subject to restriction in the viewpoint of their use, and it has been greatly desired to develop the use of acrylic fibers so as to obtain acrylic fibers having an aptitude as summer clothes.
For example, when fibers are produced with using a jet equipped with an orifice having a triangular section, the resulted acrylic fibers have a triangular section similar to the section shape of the orifice and have a surface having a high luster.

Vegetable fibers are generally based on arrangements of cellulose, often with lignin: examples include cotton, linen, hemp jute, flax, ramie, and sisal.
Synthetic fibers are a subset of man-made fibers, which are based on synthetic chemicals (often from petrochemical sources) rather than arising from natural materials by a purely physical process.

 Asbestos-free microdenier acrylic fiber reinforced material for gaskets and the like - Patent 5272198
Normal denier acrylic fibers provide many advantages in such uses over the others mentioned because they are uniquely adapted to elastomeric matrix resin wet-out, even without the use of sizing agents on their surface to "couple" to the resin and thereby enhance wetting and reinforcement.
The improved fiber reinforced materials of the present invention are formed by intimately blending fibers comprised of engineered microdenier acrylic homo- or co-polymers with a natural or synthetic rubber, either neat, or in the form of a solution, latex or dispersion in water or an organic solvent, such as toluene.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention the fibers and fillers are bound together by a synthetic rubber which is deposited on the fibers and fillers by precipitation from a latex of the synthetic rubber.

 Acrylic synthetic fiber improved in styleability patent invention   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
For example, conventional fibers are classified into synthetic fibers suitable for curly style, or synthetic fibers suitable for straight style, respectively, and since only a few synthetic fibers having wide stylability (fiber function enabling various styles for wigs) are marketed, development of such synthetic fibers are now demanded.
Although application of specific unevenness to a fiber surface is effective method for improvement in stylability, indeed, only application of simple surface unevenness cannot improve rigidity of the fiber, and, as a result, cannot sufficiently satisfy salability of straight style.
First, a fiber bundle is heat-treated under conditions of arbitrary temperature and unstrained for 30 minutes, and a sample length LD (mm) after cooling to a room temperature is measured.
