The constitutive behaviour of amorphous polymers near the glass transition contains many
features general to this class of materials. A new, physically based, three-dimensional …

Uniaxial and plane strain compression experiments are conducted on amorphous poly
(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) and poly (ethylene terephthalate)-glycol (PETG) over a wide …

A previous study of hot-drawing of amorphous films of poly (ethylene terephthalate) under
biaxial stress (Polymer 1996; 37: 2403) was extended to compare constant width (CW) and …

A family of high-temperature, high-modulus aromatic polyimide fibres has been dry-jet wet
spun from either its gel state or isotropic solution, followed by high-temperature drawing. In …

Polyester fibers take a leading position among all chemical fibers. The unique properties of
these fibers are due to the presence of aliphatic and aromatic parts in macromolecular …

The recent discovery of melt-processable poly (tetrafluoroethylene)(PTFE) allows for
common thermoplastic-polymer processing technologies to be applied to this unique …

A network model is applied to describe the deformation behaviour of melt-spun Nylon-6
fibres obtained at different spinning and drawing conditions. The network draw ratio is …

Shrinkage force measurements on drawn polyethylene terephthalate fibres have been
evaluated in terms of the elastic behaviour of a molecular network. It is shown that for low …

The two-stage drawing of uniaxially oriented poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) films has
been undertaken, together with the drawing of films at constant width, which are biaxially …

Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) which is one of the most commercially important
polymers, has for many years been an interesting candidate for the production of high …
