Model to Predict Polymer Fibre Diameter during Melt Spinning by Alexander M. Bier, Michael Redel, Dirk W. Schubert

“…Polymeric materials were evaluated with regard to their spinnability and respective fibre diameters. A modified single fibre spinning device was firstly used to derive a novel generalised model, utilising process parameters (die diameter, throughput, and stretching relevant take-up pressures) and material properties (zero shear viscosity) to predict the diameter of polymeric fibres on the basis of four different polymers. …”
