The online temperature detections of fiber along the spinning line should be the important means for the precise controlling of fiber higher order structures as well as fiber-final performance. In this paper, a method of measurement fiber temperature has been introduced which mainly use the instrument of monochromatic infrared thermometer to measure fiber temperature in the melt-spinning processes. Due to the probe field of view of monochromatic infrared thermometer being much larger than the fiber diameter, monochrome infrared thermometers can't be used to measure temperature of fibers directly, the measurement results is an average between the fiber and backgrounds, which can't be used to indicate the temperature of fibers directly and have to calibrated. The calibrated results of monochromatic infrared thermometer are compared to the measurement results of infrared thermography. It has been found that the on-line measurement with infrared thermometer could promise high-speed and highly reliable temperature testing for the fibers.

We conducted a preliminary study on fiber structural development in the high-speed melt spinning of environmentally friendly polyethylene terephthalate (Ti-PET) synthesized with 25 ppm of titanium-based catalyst, which was compared with conventional PET (Sb-PET) synthesized with 260 ppm of antimony-based catalyst. Gel permeation chromatography of Ti- and Sb-PET resins of intrinsic viscosity 0.63 confirmed that both resins have similar molecular weights and distributions. However, differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the Ti-PET resin exhibited a lower melt–crystallization peak and isothermal melt-crystallization rate than the Sb-PET resin. High-speed melt spinning of the Ti- and Sb-PET was possible up to a spinning velocity of 6 km/min. Two-dimensional wide-angle X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the molecular orientation of the obtained as-spun Ti- and Sb-PET fibers increased with spinning velocity, and a highly oriented, crystalline structure by orientation-induced crystallization started to appear from 5 km/min. Notably, Ti-PET fibers showed a lower degree of crystalline structural development and lower tensile strength compared with Sb-PET fibers under the high-speed spinning conditions. Our results suggest that the catalyst in PET resins can act as nucleating agents in thermal- and orientation-induced crystallization, and that differences in catalyst content can influence PET fiber structure development under extreme conditions in high-speed melt spinning.
