Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A flash-spun plexifilamentary fiber strand having a BET surface area of less than 12 m 2 /g, a crush value of at least 0.9 mm/g wherein said fiber strand comprises predominantly fibers formed from polyethylene, said fibers having a total crystallinity index of less than 55%, and sheets made thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1 . A flash-spun plexifilamentary fiber strand comprising fibers having a total crystallinity index of less than or equal to 55%. 2 . The flash-spun plexifilamentary fiber strand of claim 1 having a BET surface area of less than or equal to 12 m 2 /g, a crush value of greater than or equal to 0.9 mm/g. 3 . The flash-spun plexifilamentary fiber strand of claim 2 wherein said fiber strand comprises predominantly fibers formed from polyethylene. 4 . The fiber strand of claim 3 wherein said fibers have a total crystallinity index of less than or equal to 52%. 5 . The fiber strand of claim 3 wherein the fibers have a monoclinic and orthorhombic structure as determined by X-ray characterization and a crystallinity index of the monoclinic structures is equal or higher than 1%. 6 . A consolidated sheet made from a fiber strand according to claim 1 7 . A multilayer structure comprising a multiplicity of two or more sheets or strands wherein at least one sheet is a sheet according to claim 6 . 8 . A thermally or mechanically consolidated sheet made from a fiber strand according to claim 1 9 . A multilayer structure comprising a multiplicity of two or more sheets or strands wherein at least one sheet is a sheet according to claim 8 .
