maximum tensile strength tea total tensile energy absorption is calculated from the area under the stress strain curve generated during the strip tensile test a control fiber was made by introducing 100 dow lldpe 2500 55 mi 0 923 density to a feed hopper of a spinning system equipped with an extruder a gear pump to control polymer flow at 0 75 gram per minute per hole and a spinneret with 34 holes of l d 4 1 and a diameter of 0 2 mm spinning was carried out using a melt temperature in the extruder of 215 u00b0 c and a pack melt temperature of 232 u00b0 c after air quench the resulting filaments were drawn down at a filament speed of approximately 1985 m min using an air aspiration gun operating at 100 psig to yield a denier of 3 01 and denier standard deviation of 0 41 ninety parts by weight of dow lldpe type 2500 55 mi 0 923 density and ten parts of himont x10054 12 1 polypropylene 65 mfr were dry blended in a rotary mixer and then introduced to the feed hopper of the spinning system described in example 2 spinning was carried out using a pack melt temperature of 211 u00b0 c after air quench the resulting filaments were drawn down at a filament speed of approximately 2280 m min using an air aspiration gun operating at 100 psig to yield a denier of 2 96 and a denier standard deviation of.
