Abstract

AbstractThe technological applications and the associated molecular mechanisms of various levels of orientation in polyester fibres are discussed. The inherent birefringence of these fibres is high and therefore the orientation is easily measurable, while their behaviour is very sensitive to small changes in orientation. In particular, practical properties such as strength, productivity and ease of bulking are very dependent on the spun yarn orientation before the drawing operation takes place, but for completely different reasons. Polyester fibres can be pretreated in terms of orientation in such a way that an extremely high spontaneous extension can be obtained, a property which can be used for bulking. It is shown that variations in low levels of orientation can have profound industrial implications.
