Abstract
Molecular orientation in poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers was studied by polarized fluorescence. The observed amorphous orientation of the spun as fiber was not random but uniaxial along the fiber axis. This orientation increased with draw ratio up to about 2 and then remained fairly constant. The amorphous regions of PET fibers were disoriented when the fibers were heated while unconstrained. The fluorescence data obtained were correlated with shrinkage measurements. Fluorescence data indicated that spin drawing had more effect upon orientation than subsequent drawing of the fiber, whereas birefringence data indicated the opposite. The reason for this behavior is discussed.

Comparison of the Hermans orientation functions of the amorphous fraction of PET and PA6 fibers oriented by stretching to various degrees was made. The orientation functions obtained by different methods enable one to draw conclusions about the acceptability of different methods and their correlatio
The orientation of the noncrystalline (amorphous) phase in poly (ethylene terephthalate) fibers is analyzed by separating the amorphous scattering in the wideangle x-ray diffraction patterns into isotropic and anisotropic components. Two parameters are used to characterize the amorphous orientation-
## Abstract Earlier studies of the orientation of the crystalline and amorphous regions in drawn and shrunk PET tapes by refractive index, Xβray, and polarized fluorescence measurements have been extended to include a study of young's modulus of such samples. The results show that for samples of lo
