Figure 1 provides a simplified process schematic. An excellent general reference on fiber spinning is A. Ziabicki, Fundamentals of Fiber Formation, Wiley, New York (1976). ISBN 0471982202. A classic article which emphasizes structure development during melt spinning is J.R. Dees and J.E. Spruiell, 7. AppL Polym, ScL, 18, pp. 1053-1078 (1974). 

Finally, the manner in which individual molecules crystallize depends on the nature of the polymer molecule and the conditions under which crystallization takes place (see Fig. 5.18). It is worth noting at this point the work of Dees and Spruiell (1974) concerned with the structure development during melt spinning of HDPE fibers. Figure 9.9 presents their morphological model based on crystallite orientation factors and some other information. At low take-up speeds...
