Melt spinning of continuous filaments by cold air attenuation

Traditionally ultrafine fibers below 1 dpf are produced by extrusion followed by mechanical drawing. A modified melt spinning apparatus with high-speed air nozzle was designed and fabricated to produce continuous polypropylene filaments by cold air drawing only. With this setup, the fiber is quench...
