The orientation and crystallinity of the PET fibers were measured by sonic and X-ray diffraction. The feature of modulus-strain curves were discussed from the fiber structure and applications.
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor was prepared by two-stage stretching method. The orientation microstructure of PAN precursor was studied by wide angle X-ray diffraction, the mechanical properties by single fiber tensile test, and the orientation factor and modulus by sonic velocity method.
