## Abstract As‐spun fibers of poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, made at winding speeds ranging from 2000 to 6000 m/min exhibit quite different physical structures. Yarns wound at relatively low speeds are amorphous, whereas those spun at high speeds contain well‐developed crystals of closely packe

✦ Synopsis
The influence of pre-orientation and molecular weight (various viscosities: [r/] on the yield stress behaviour has been studied for poly(ethylene terephthalate) by means of uniaxial elongation tests and birefringence measurements. The results show that the amorphous pre-orientation birefringence achieved in hot drawing seems to be the most sensitive parameter to describe the influence of the strain history on the yield stress.

## Abstract This series of reports summarizes the results of an experimental research program designed to establish the effects of preexisting orientation and crystallinity on solvent‐induced crystallization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) films. Dimethylformamide was used as a model for a strongly
