Acrylic fibers are synthetic fibers made from a polymer (Polyacrylonitrile) with an average molecular weight of ~100,000, about 1900 monomer units. To be called acrylic in the U.S, the polymer must contain at least 85% acrylonitrile monomer. Typical comonomers are vinyl acetate or methyl acrylate. The Dupont Corporation created the first acrylic fibers in 1941 and trademarked them under the name "Orlon".

Production

The polymer is formed by free-radical polymerization in aqueous suspension. 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 (wet spinning) or evaporating the solvent in a stream of heated inert gas (dry spinning). Washing, stretching, drying and crimping complete the processing. Acrylic fibers are produced in a range of deniers, typically from 1 to 15 as cut staple or as a 500,000 to 1 million filament tow. End uses include sweaters, hats, hand-knitting yarns, rugs, awnings, boat covers, and upholstery; the fiber is also used as a precursor for carbon fiber. Production of acrylic fibers is centered in the Far East, declining in Europe and now shut down (except for precursor) in the U.S. Former U.S. brands of acrylic were Acrilan (Monsanto), Creslan (American Cyanamid), and Orlon (DuPont).

A. There is no harm in doing a Govt. job, just use it as a launching pad and keep searching until you get which satisfy you. Success depends on your telent and how much hard work you put in. It can be Govt. or Private. IMO join it, this will give you a base and ample time to plan better future. Good Luck.

What do you do if asked about a gift you couldn't use?
Q. I can't knit, and hate artificial fibres. Oddly, some people who know me fairly well got me a kit with acrylic yarn and a knitting pattern for a baby outfit & blanket. (I'm pregnant.) I thanked them, noting, though, that I couldn't knit. I wrote something to the effect of 'It's an intimdating box!' And got a reply expressing happiness that I'd liked the present. Anyway. It's likely going in my pile of "stuff that will end up at the baby consignment store." But what do I say about the baby being minus a knitted jacket &c? The odds are excellent that it'll be asked about.

A. Sounds like a close friend. Weird that they would buy something like that if they know you don't knit. So, I would keep the stuff, just in case, so if they say anything, simply say "You know, I never could figure that out. Knitting is just not my thing, but it was sweet of you." and drop it. If they offer to make it for you, give them the pattern back and thank them. Chances are they won't make it, because I'm thinking an avid knitter would've made the stuff for you in the first place. And hopefully by the time they get it back to you, you will have a toddler and not a newborn, so you can just put it in their memento box, lol! Just a guess, that's what I would do. No sense pretending you are interested in doing something you don't want to… [cont.]
