Abstract
The properties of fibers were significantly affected by drawing during the spunbond process. In this paper, the influence of drawing pressure on the properties of spunbonded PET/PA6 hollow pie wedge bicomponent filaments was studied, and their performance was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Beion F6 fiber fineness tester, and single fiber strength tester. The hollow pie wedge bicomponent fiber had a distinct interface between the two polymers due to poor compatibility. With increasing of drawing pressure, diameter of the fibers reduced regularly. When the drawing pressure increased, both the degree of crystallinity and orientation of bicomponent fibers enhanced, and the melting point of polyester component increased as well. Furthermore, with increasing of drawing pressure, the breaking strength of the fibers increased, but the breaking elongation and linear density decreased.
