Abstract

The energy balance on the laser drawing process of poly (ethylene terephthalate) was analyzed by the on-line fiber temperature measurement. The energy converting process from the external work for drawing to the thermal energy was quantitatively investigated by comparing the measured temperature profiles with the estimated temperature profiles using energy balance equations. From the result, it was shown that 9-24% of the applied work was stored as the elastic energy into the system just after the neck drawing point, and that the stored elastic energy was released as the thermal energy with the progress of orientation-induced-crystallization. It was also shown that the ratio of stored energy to the applied work tend to increase with the increase of fiber speed.
