Draw-Spinning of Kilometer-Long and Highly Stretchable Polymer Submicrometer Fibers.

ABSTRACT: A new method is developed to directly spinning perfectly uniaxial fibers in an ultrafast manner. Besides, this method can tune the fibers' diameter through adjusting processing parameters such as the feeding rate of precursors. Uniaxial nylon 66 fibers prepared via this method show superior mechanical properties due to the alignment in each level of the structure.
