Abstract
A process is described for the successful compaction of polyethylene t erephthalate fibres. The measurement of mechanical properties shows th at a very high proportion of the original fibre properties are retaine d and that the compacted samples have a good degree of coherence. Elec tron microscopy studies of suitably etched samples reveals the effect of the compaction temperature on the structure of the compacted sample s.
