  • Publication number: 20240110315
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composition and method for forming polymeric multifilaments having a filament diameter of no more than 10 ?m with a high tensile strength and toughness. The composition includes at least one semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer and a nucleating agent to stabilize the multifilaments during melt-spinning and facilitate phase transformation of the thermoplastic polymer in subsequent drawing and annealing cycles. The method includes a quenching step for the melt-spun filaments immediately after the melt-spinning and collection of the quenched filaments with a specific winding speed to decrease the filament diameter. The subsequent drawing and annealing cycles further enhance the mechanical properties of the filaments after the quenching.
