Abstract:

In order to discover the cause for performance instability from interfacial deformation and displacement in side-by-side bi-component fibers, the finite element method was used to simulate the flow of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/polyamide 6(PA6) polymer melt in the spinneret orifice. According to the results of numerical calculation, the interface changes of parallel flow under different conditions are obtained, and the effects of melt viscosity, inlet flow rate and flow length on the interface position and shape were analyzed. The results show that the interfacial deformation and deviation of the side-by-side bi-component melt occur in the spinneret orifice and that the low-viscosity component tends to wrap the high-viscosity component, whereas the interface change of the melt along the flow direction tends to be stable within a short distance. As the melt viscosity ratio increases, the interface shifts to the low viscosity component and the interface curvature increases. The difference of the inlet flow rate will cause the interface deviation, which will increase with the increase of the flow ratio.
