<p>IMPROVED POLYESTER FIBER An improved polyester filament (i. e,, a principally polyethylene terephthalate filament) suitable for use in commercial applications is provided having a unique internal structure. The filament possesses an interconnected highly oriented crystalline microstructure coextensive with its length coexisting with an interdispersed substantially disoriented non-crystalline phase. The filament microstructure imparts inter alia a propensity for the filament to undergo a low degree of shrinkage under a high degree of force at an elevated temperature as evidenced by a modulus ratio (as defined) of at least 0.1. The filament exhibits a relatively high initial modulus, coupled with a relatively high crystalline orientation function, and a relatively low amorphous orientation function.</p> |
