Extensive studies concerning the spinning and drawing of polypropylene resulted in a
method for production of high modulus fibers under industrially feasible conditions. The …

Ultra? high molecular weight polyethylene (PE? UHMW) and high? density polyethylene
(PE? HD) blend fibers with tensile strength of 1.13 GPa were prepared via a melt spinning …

For the purpose of the development of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)
fibers with improved tensile properties, the stearic acid (SA) was added to the gel spinning of …

Five different poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) materials (two recycled and three virgin
ones) were melt-spun into fibres using a capillary rheometer and aerodynamic stretching. In …

Perfluorinated ethylene‐propylene (FEP) is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and
hexafluoropropylene (HFP). It retains most of the desirable characteristics of …

Ultra strong polyethylene fibers can be made by gel-spinning of Ultra High Molecular Weight
Polyethylene (UHMWPE). Such fibers exhibit extraordinary properties. They show very high …

Based on the poor resiliency of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), PTFE was stretched at room
temperature uniaxially. Samples were stretched to different lengths at the same tensile …

Raw filaments of ultrahigh molecular weight poly (tetrafluoroethylene)(PTFE)(8.4× 106) were
prepared by the paste extrusion of fine powder. The raw filaments with a sag ratio of 25 …

In nonwoven industry, meltblowing has been widely used as an important technique for the
production of nonwoven webs consisting of microfibres, suitable for various applications …

It has been recognized for a long time that very strong and stiff materials can be prepared
from polymers. Take polyethylene for example, the reported theoretical strength and …
