Coefficients of Mass Conductivity During Polycaproamide Drying

The coefficients of moisture mass conductivity in fiber-forming polycaproamide polymer in the drying process are cited. With rise of temperature from 70 to 150°C mass conductivity coefficients increase significantly, including at the end of the drying process, which greatly reduces the process time in the second period. The polycaproamide drying process can be accelerated by raising the temperature of the material through increase of mass conductivity coefficients and reduction of granule size by purposeful action on the polymer structure, for example by creating a branched network of pores, defects, and microvacancies in the polymer matrix.
