In this study, the effects on the fiber structure development of polyethylene terephthalate after necking was analyzed by simultaneous WAXD/SAXS measurements. An X-shaped SAXS pattern was observed for all fibers drawn at the minimum draw ratio. In contrast, by drawing under a drawing stress of 100 MPa, the strong diffraction of the smectic phase and an obviously larger long period less than 1 ms after necking were observed for fibers spun at 500-1500 m/min, while almost no smectic phase was observed for fibers spun at 2000 m/min. A higher crystallization rate and clear draw ratio dependence of crystallization rate were also observed for the fiber spun at 2000 m/min. The clear differences in structure development can explain their differences in tensile strength and thermal shrinkage. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
