摘要 |
The present invention provides high strength fiber of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) having a strength of at least 0.5 GPa, which is manufactured by forming a monofilament of PTFE group polymer by paste extrusion, free end annealing the monofilament, and subsequently drawing the annealed monofilament to form the fiber, wherein PTFE molecular chains are oriented in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the fiber.
