Rv. Iyer et K. Vijayan, IDENTIFICATION OF A NEW PARAMETER, DELTA-T(T), CONTROLLING THE THERMALLY-INDUCED EFFECTS ON KEVLAR 49 FIBERS, Current Science (Bangalore), 75(9), 1998, pp. 946-951
The magnitude of the thermally-induced changes In the crystallinity, w
eight, tensile strength, and surface damages in Kevlar 49 fibres is co
ntrolled by the duration of each and individual thermal exposure, Delt
a t(T). Several short exposures cause less damage to the fibre than a
single long exposure. This observation is user-relevant.
