AbstractThe development of structure during steady‐state high‐speed spinning of poly(ethylene terephthalate) has been correlated with the stress on the threadline. In particular, it is shown that a critical stress at the freeze point of 0.08–0.09 g/denier (9.5–10.6 MPa) is necessary for the occurrence of threadline crystallization independent of polymer molecular weight or process variables such as windup speed or filament ch
