Abstract
The production of polyamide fibers by various spinning techniques yields fibers with a variety of microstructures. The chemical, physical and mechanical properties of these fibers depend on microstructure properties. This chapter reviews polyamide fiber formation and how various spinning methods affect the fiber microstructure, heat setting and mechanical properties. The chapter first discusses the various spinning techniques to form fibers and then discusses various characterization techniques to measure microstructure properties such as crystallinity, crystalline and amorphous orientation. Finally, the chapter reviews how microstructure properties would influence heat setting, dye diffusion and mechanical properties of polyamide fibers.
