Abstract:Morphological study of high-speed spun poly(ethylene terephthalate) (HSS-PET) fibers spun at 6 km/min was performed by a combination of alkaline etching, surface replica method, and transmission electron microscopy. In the two-stage replica of the alkalineetched fiber, the stacked-lamella-like structure was observed, in which lamella-like striations were stacked in a direction leaning at about 40 • away from the fiber axis. The spacing between the adjacent striations, namely the lamellar periodicity, was measu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
