Two different methods of effecting modification of the fibre structure, namely, heat treatment and solvent treatment, have been investigated. Heat setting and solvent treatement led to improvement in the crystallinity of the poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibres. Pretreatment in dimethyl formamide and acetonitrile resulted in reduced tensile strength.
