We investigated the effects of dimensions and regularity of the smectic phase on the mechanical properties by high-precision X-ray measurements. The drawing stress dependence was 76-168 MPa and the spinning speed dependence of 250-2000 m/min. The proportion, persistence length, and thickness of the smectic phase achieved their maximum values at 0.3-0.4 ms after necking. At this time g(II) also reached a minimum value of 3.7%-4.3%. The persistence length increased linearly with the natural draw ratio of as-spun fibers at less than 1500 m/min. The maximum values of the proportion, persistence length, and thickness showed no dependence on the drawing stress; however, the proportion and persistence length increased more rapidly. The increase of d-spacing with drawing stress led to an apparent elastic modulus of approximately 40 GPa for the oriented molecular bundle., Article, POLYMER.164:163-173(2019)}, pages = {163--173}, title = {Effects of dimensions and regularity on the mechanical properties of the smectic phase formed during orientation-induced crystallization of poly (ethylene terephthalate)}, volume = {164}, year = {2019} }
