Preparation of high-modulus nylon 6 fibers by vibrating hot drawing and zone annealing
To prepare high-modulus fibers, the vibrating hot-drawing and zone-annealing methods have been applied to nylon 6. The vibrating hot drawing was repeated two times, increasing the applied tension; further, the zone annealing was superposed on the vibrating hot-drawn fibers. The superstructure and mechanical properties of each step fiber were investigated. The vibration under a cooperation of heating and tension was very useful for increasing the draw ratio, birefringence, and orientation factor of the amorphous chains. Consequently, the obtained fiber indicated high moduli, namely, Young's modulus of 23 GPa and the dynamic storage modulus at room temperature of 25.3 GPa.
