Nylon is one of the most important polymers for production of high-performance fibers. High tenacity, high elasticity, good adhesion to rubber, and resistance to heat, abrasion, and chemicals make it possible for nylon filaments/yarns to be used widely in various technical products such as tire cords, industrial threads, climbing ropes, and fishing nets. This chapter first reviews the recent developments in spinning and treatment methods of high-performance nylon fibers. These techniques affect different elements inside the fiber structure, improving the tensile, thermal, and chemical properties. To understand such effects the morphology and the physical and chemical characteristics of the filaments are explained in detail. Finally, this chapter provides some suggestions for future production of technical nylon fibers. |
