| Summary: | An investigation of the hot drawing of high molecular weight polyethylene fibres containing a substantial amount of solvent, and of fibres with a porous structure that were dried after solution spinning, was conducted. It was found that the tensile strength as well as the Young's modulus of the polyethylene fibres were linearly related to the applied stress up to values of 0.3 GPa. Drawing stresses exceeding 0.3 GPa could produce polyethylene fibres with a tensile strength of 3.7 GPa and a Young's modulus of 120 GPa. The ultimate mechanical properties appeared to be affected by the nature of the solvent, the polymer concentration and the spinning temperature. |
