Physical modification of chemical fibres and filaments by incorporating different fillers in the polymer matrix [ 1,2], including highly disperse inorganic compounds --oxides, salts, metal powders, etc., is widely used. In most cases, modification has the purpose of giving the basic polymer (fibre or filamen0 a number of specific properties: to increase the degree of whiteness, improve the feel, alter the tribological characteristics, increase the flameproofmg, motion properties, resislance to thermooxidative degradation, conductivity, and the ability to absorb different types of radiation. Despite the fact that a large number of publications has been dedicated to problems of physical modification of chemical fibres, a number of questions has virtually not been examined, such as the character of strengthening and breaking of fibres, the reaction of the filler with the polymer macromolecules in the condensed phase and the thermodynamic aspects of this reaction, the specific features of cross-linking, and many others. The question of obtaining high-strength, high-modulus fibres containing highly disperse inorganic fillers has not been investigated at all. We only know that incorporation of up to 35 wt. % barium sulfate or up to 10% lead sulfate in poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide fibres causes the fibres to lose 15-20% of their strength.* We attempted to examine the effect of a highly disperse inorganic filler on the mechanical properties of fibres based on polyamidobenzimidazole (PABI) [3], a heterocyclic polyamide with the following structure of the elementary unit and the character of strengthening and degradation of these fibres and organoplastics made from them on rupture. Powdered oxides (REO) and fluorides (REF) of rare-earth elements of the cerium subgroup (cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, praseodymium) were used as the inorganic fillers. The filler consisted of almost spherical particles from 1 to 10 I.tm in diameter for REF and 5-10 lain in diameter for REO.We know from experience in fabricating ordinary synthetic fibres [2] that the optimum filler particle size in wet spinning is approximately 1 [am. The particles of the disperse filler, which have a high surface energy, usually aggregate both during storage in powdered form and in polymer solutions. This situation can significantly worsen spinning of fibres, resulting in clogging of the spinneret openings. We also know that in most cases, the mechanical strength of the filled fibres and filaments, with all other conditions being equal, is higher the smaller the size of the filler particles. It is thus obvious that the smaller the filler particle size is, the greater its total surface area and contact area with the polymer. The contact area of the filler with the polymer and energy of their interaction can also be increased by varying the chemical structure of the surface of the filler by oriented adsorption of surfactants (SF) on it [4]. For this reason, one of the stages of fabrication of filled fibres in our case was dispersion of the oxides or salts of ...
