Notes:
Fibers of isotactic polypropylene were obtained by high-temperature drawing, adopting a two-stage process. Very high drawing degrees were achieved, more than 40. The physical behavior was analyzed by determining the dynamic-mechanical relaxation spectra in monoaxial stretching. The results obtained show that the elastic modulus reaches a saturation value at deformation degrees of about 20, well below the drawability upper limit, indicating that above 20 any further drawing does not affect the structure. Moreover the α transition appears weak or absent in the drawn samples, while the β transition is still readily detectable. Both effects agree with Peterlin's model of drawing and with the fiber structure. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
