Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Stretched filaments based on aromatic polyethers, wherein the filaments have been stretched at a temperature between glass transition temperature and melting point and wherein the filaments are cooled down to below the glass transition temperature under full tensile load and a process for production thereof and use thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A stretched filament having a stretch factor greater than or equal to 5, comprising at least 80% by weight of aromatic polyethers, wherein the filament has been stretched at a temperature between glass transition temperature and melting point and wherein the filament has been cooled down to below the glass transition temperature under full load, wherein the aromatic polyethers consists of polyetheretherketone (PEEK). 2. The stretched filament according to claim 1 , wherein the melting temperatures and glass transition temperatures are determined by means of DSC to EN ISO 11357-1:2016D. 3. The stretched filament according to claim 1 , wherein the stretched filaments comprise at least 85% by weight of aromatic polyethers. 4. The stretched filament according to claim 1 , wherein the filaments are fibers or ribbons. 5. The stretched filament according to claim 4 , wherein the filaments are ribbons. 6. A process for producing stretched filament according to claim 1 , wherein the filaments are stretched at a temperature between glass transition temperature and melting point and are then cooled down to below the glass transition temperature under full load. 7. The process according to claim 6 , wherein the melting temperatures and glass transition temperatures are determined by means of DSC to EN ISO 11357-1:2016D. 8. The process according to claim 6 , wherein the stretching proceeds in a static manner. 9. The process according to claim 6 , wherein the cooling takes at least 10 seconds. 10. The process according to claim 6 , wherein the filaments, after the stretching, are cooled down to below 130° C. 11. The process according to claim 6 , wherein just one stretching operation is performed. 12. A composite comprising the stretched filament according to claim 1 . 13. A wound ply comprising at least one stretched filament according to claim 1 . 14. A tube comprising at least one wound ply comprising at least one stretched filament according to claim 1 . 15. The stretched filament according to claim 1 , wherein the stretched filaments comprise at least 90% by weight of aromatic polyethers. 16. The stretched filament according to claim 1 , wherein the stretched filaments consist of polyetheretherketone (PEEK). 17. The stretched filament according to claim 1 , wherein the stretching factor is greater than or equal to 10. 18. The stretched filament according to claim 1 , wherein the filament relaxes by a maximum of 6% in relation to the stretched length.
