| Abstract | ||
| Melt spinning is a widely used process for producing polymeric filaments. It involves feeding polymer pellets or granules into an extruder, melting the polymer, and forcing the melted polymer through a spinneret under pressure. The molten polymer is then quenched with cold air to form filaments. Melt spinning is a cost-effective method and is used for manufacturing various thermoplastic fibers. However, there are limitations to melt spinning, such as difficulties in creating filaments with extremely small or large dimensions and the need for precise temperature control. Additives can be used in the melt spinning process to enhance the properties of the fibers. The molecular weight of the polymer affects its spinnability and the properties of the resulting fibers. Melt-spun fibers have a wide range of applications, including textiles, antimicrobial fibers, microfibers, bioresorbable fibers for medical applications, and conductive fibers. | ||
