Abstract
Freshly spun, unlubricated fibres of MXD-6 (the polyamide from m-xylylene diamine and adipic acid) develop internal fissures on penetration by water, alcohol, or alcohol-water mixtures. Void-formation is connected with progressive crystallization of the initially amorphous fibre, and the crystallization is accompanied by a heterogeneity of birefringence and the development of spherulites. The extent of void-formation appears to be related to the time-lag between penetration and subsequent crystallization.
