High Modulus and high tenacity polypropylene fibers have been prepared by drawing on a gradient heater. Results show that fiber properties are significantly affected by temperature profiles of final stage drawing on a gradient heater. The gradient drawn filaments showed superior mechanical properties when compared to filaments drawn over a constant temperature heater. Fibers with initial modulus of 16.4 GPa and tenacity of 670 MPa have been manufactured in the process. The nature of the gradient drawing had a significant effect on end properties. The superior mechanical properties are attributed to the high crystal perfection and crystallinity and low void fractions obtained at high draw ratios when drawn over a gradient heater.

Polyethylene (PE) micro-fiber have been prepared at different hot air temperature (60, 80 and 100 ℃) and different pressure (20, 40, 60 and 80 kPa) by melt centrifugal spinning technique. The parameters of melting centrifugal spinning including polymer contents, rotational velocity, temperature of hot air and pressure were optimized for the fabrication process. The study showed that 8000 rpm rotational velocity, 80 ℃ heated hot air and 40 kPa air pressure are the best condition to obtain uniform and strong PE fiber. The prepared PE fibers were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscope and universal testing machine and found that fibers with reduced diameter and improved tensile strength are obtained at hot air condition.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural characteristics, mechanical properties, and stress-relaxation behavior of PET filament, which were prepared at various spinning speeds(1650, 3300, 4500, 5000, 5500, and 6000 m/min) and anneal(12$0^{\circ}C$, 20 min & 15$0^{\circ}C$, 40 min). In 4500 m/min of spinning speed the crystallinity, crystallite size, and degree of orientation of PET filament rapidly increased. By increasing spinning speed, the temperature dependence of stress-relaxation sharply decreased. Same results were obtained from heat-treated samples. As a result, activation energy for stress-relaxation increased with the crystallinity and spinning speed.

In order to make clear relationship between high temperature tensile properties and fine microstructure of rapidly solidified cast-type Ni-base superalloys without heat treatment required for consolidation process, tensile test was carried out by changing strain rate from $5{\times}10^{-5}s^{-1}$ to $2{\times}10^{-2}s^{-1}$ and test temperature from $900^{\circ}C$ to $1050^{\circ}C$ using IN738LC and Rene'80 melt-spinning ribbons by twin roll process which were superior to ribbons by single roll process from the viewpoint of structure homogeneity. The dependence of tensile strength on strain rate and test temperature was studied and strain rate sensitivity, m, were estimated from tensile test results. From this study, it was found that tensile strength was influenced by ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ particle diameter, test temperature and strain rate, and m of ribbons exhibited above 0.3 over $950^{\circ}C$.

Super engineering plastic(SEP) are applied to high performance and high value industries due to their excellent mechanical properties and high continuous operating temperature. Among them, PES and PEI are amorphous SEPs, and have the advantages of high flexibility, mechanical properties, transparency, and thermal stability. In this study, polyethersulfone(PES) and polyetherimide(PEI) fibers were manufactured to produce flame retardant artificial hair. PES and PEI fibers prepared through a melt-spinning process at a high temperature of 360 to 420℃. They are compared with commercial artificial hair by thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA), linear density, tenacity, and limited oxygen index(LOI) analysis. PES and PEI fibers have similar linear density and tenacity to commercial artificial hair, while their thermal stability and flame retardant are excellent. In particular, flame retardant was analyzed through LOI value and PES was 35.1%, which is superior to commercial artificial hair PET/Br(28.2%) and PET/P(20.2%). Therefore, PES and PEI are suitable as artificial hair for flame retardant.

Profile development of the melt spinning process of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was simulated by a numerical method under the consideration of two constitutive equations of Newtonian and upper convected Maxwell (UCM) models. The viscoelastic characteristics of the polymer were considered via UCM constitutive equation that considered relaxation time as a function of temperature and molecular weight. The UCM model predicted the diameter profile better than the Newtonian, while velocity development was slower than the Newtonian model. Viscoelasticity played an important role in accurately predicting diameter profile. However, even though neck-like deformation was observed in the UCM model, the exact position of the deformation under high speed spinning was not obtained.

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) copolymers of different molecular weights were synthesized by a suspension polymerization and precipitation polymerization method. The rheology behaviors of the synthesized PAN copolymers were investigated in relation to their molecular weight, solid content and melting temperature. The influence of "historical effects" on the spinning solution of PAN was studied by analyzing the laws of viscosity considering the diversification time and temperature. The viscosity disciplines of each spinning solution conformed well to the rheological universal laws in a comparison of the suspension polymerization product with that of precipitation polymerization. Viscosity changes in the swelling process of dissolution were gentler in the suspension polymerization product; a small amount of water will quickly debase the solution viscosity, and high-speed mixing can greatly shorten the time required by the spinning solution to reach the final viscosity.

Among other poly(4,4'-terephthanilidealkylamide)s (PTAA's), poly (4,4'-terephthanilideadipamide) (PTAd) gave clear critical concentration curves. For PTAA's with methylene units more than 6, the critical concentration (C*) seemed to be beyond the solubility limit of H₂SO₄. Under shearing conditions, the nematic domains were easily oriented and stretched in the direction of shear , and a fibrillar structure resulted. At low frequencies, a monotollous reduction of loss tangent (tan) was observed as concentration increased. At high frequencies, however, tan was increased above C* again, and showed maximum at saturation concentration (Cs). With increasing temperature, viscosity of isotropic and anisotropic phases was normally decreased, while viscosity of biphases was increased. Plot of complex viscosity (If) against temperature based on rheological measurements exhibited a good correlation with phase diagram constructed by polarizing microscope observations. Rheological parameters suggested the optimum dope concentration of PTAd with inherent viscosity 2.02 at 30oc is in the vicinity of 19.2 wt%, which seemed to agree well with spinning experiments (around 19.4 wt%). In general, effects of spinning and annealing conditions on the mechanical properties of PTAA fibres were most pronounced in PTAd fibre spun from anisotropic spinning dope .

High-speed melt spinning of syndiotactic polystyrene was carried out using high and low molecular weight poly­mers, HM s-PS and LM s-PS, at the throughput rates of 3 and 6 g/min. The effect of take-up velocity on the structure and properties of as-spun fibers was investigated. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) patterns of the as-spun fibers revealed that the orientation-induced crystallization started to occur at the take-up velocities of 2-3 km/min. The crystal modification was a-form. Birefringence of as-spun fibers showed negative value, and the absolute value of birefringence increased with an increase in the take-up velocity. The cold crystallization temperature analyzed through the differential scanning calorimetry (OSC) decreased with an increase in the take-up velocity in the low speed region, whereas as the melting temperature increased after the on-set of orientation-induced crystallization. It was found that the fiber structure development proceeded from lower take-up velocities when the spinning conditions of higher molecular weight and lower throughput rate were adopted. The highest tensile modulus of 6.5 GPa was obtained for the fibers prepared at the spinning conditions of LM s-PS, 6 g/min and 5 km/min, whereas the highest tensile strength of 160 MPa was obtained for the HM s-PS fibers at the take-up velocity of 2 km/min. Elongation at break of as-spun fibers showed an abrupt increase, which was regarded as the brittle-duc­tile transition, in the low speed region, and subsequently decreased with an increase in the take-up velocity. There was a uni­versal relation between the thermal and mechanical properties of as-spun fibers and the birefringence of as-spun fibers when the fibers were still amorphous. The orientation-induced crystallization was found to start when the birefringence reached -0.02. After the starting of the orientation-induced crystallization, thermal and mechanical properties of as-spun fibers with similar level of birefringence varied significantly depending on the processing conditions.
