Sheath-core bicomponent spinning of high molecular weight poly (ethylene terephthalate) (hmpet, IV = 1.02 dl/g) and low molecular weight pet (lmpet, IV = 0.65 dl/g) is done at a take-up velocity range of 1 to 7 km/min. The structures of the individual components in the as-spun bicomponent fibers are characterized. Orientation and orientation-induced crystallization of the hmpet component are enhanced, while those of the lmpet component are suppressed in comparison to corresponding single component spinning. Numerical simulation with the Newtonian model shows that elongational stress in the hmpet component is enhanced and that of the lmpet decreases during high-speed bicomponent spinning. The difference in elongational viscosity is the main factor influencing the mutual interaction between hmpet and lmpet, which in turn affect spinline dynamics, solidification temperature, and structural development in high-speed bicomponent spinning. Simulation with an upper-convected Maxwell model shows that considerable stress relaxation can occur in the lmpet component if the hmpet component solidifies before lmpet. A mechanism for structural development is also proposed, based on the simulation results and structural characterization data.

Abstract A novel sheath-core poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) (EVOH) composite fiber was designed and manufactured to improve the hydrophilicity of the PET fibers. The thermal stability of EVOH was first examined to determine the possible processing temperature. Second, the rheological characteristics of EVOH were measured to obtain the appropriate spinning parameters. Then, PET/EVOH composite fibers with various sheath-core ratios were manufactured and the effect of sheath-core ratio on the stable spinning process was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows that the PET/EVOH fibers possess a round sheath-core cross-section and a smooth surface, indicating successful spinning. Finally, the mechanical properties and moisture absorption of the PET/ EVOH composite fibers were measured. For PET/EVOH composite fibers, the PET content contributes to the mechanical properties and the EVOH content contributes to the moisture absorption. For the PET/EVOH composite fibers with a sheath-core ratio of 50:50, the moisture regains at room conditions reach to 2.8% and the breaking strength is 2.53 cN/dtex. These good mechanical and moisture properties attract good application prospects.
