Abstract

AbstractThe longitudinal dimensional change of dried nylon 6 monofilaments of various draw ratios swollen in the atmosphere of 24°C. and 100% R.H. was studied. The degree of longitudinal swelling in equilibrium changes with the conditions of drawing and the draw ratio of the sample; for the samples drawn immediately after spinning, it increases, passes through a maximum near a draw ratio of 2, and gradually decreases as the draw ratio increases; for the samples drawn many days after spinning the maximum point is at a draw ratio near 2.8, while for the samples drawn after heat‐treatment the degree of longitudinal swelling does not change appreciably with the draw ratio of the sample. The rate of longitudinal swelling remains nearly constant or increases slightly in the range of draw ratios of 1–3. It then decreases with the draw ratio at draw ratios higher than 3.
