Advances in improving performance

In the book Structure Formation in Polymeric Fibers, Cuculo et al. [210] demonstrated the substantial potential of enhancing fiber properties by judiciously controlling the threadline dynamics. In other words, the enhanced fiber properties result not only from higher quality of raw materials but also from improved fiber structures. Hence in this Section, focus will be on advances in improving performance of conventional fibers by manipulating fiber structures, i.e., molecular orientation and crystallization.
