Notes:
The force versus temperature behavior (at constant length) of poly(p-phenylene benzobisthiazole) fibers (PBT) and Kevlar fibers has been investigated. Thermal expansion coefficients are evaluated for heat treated PBT (PBT-HT) and Kevlar 49, to be -1.1 × 10-6/°C and -3.2 × 10-6/°C, respectively. Kevlar 49, PBT-HT, and steel fibers exhibit a linear thermal elastic behavior whereas Kevlar 29 and as-spun PBT do not. Material changes which occur during heat treatment processing are detected in the force-temperature profile. A correspondence between the thermal and mechanical energy input which induces these material changes has been found.
