Abstract:The combination of laser irradiation heating and synchrotron X-ray sources has made it possible to observe the fiber-structure development that occurs at sub-millisecond timescales after necking during continuous drawing. Through wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis of poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers of three different molecular weights drawn under equivalent stresses, a good correlation was observed between the d-spacing of smectic (001') diffraction extrapo… Show more
