Medical Device Link . The Effects of Annealing Conditions on the Structure and Properties of Polypropylene Fibers
to reestablish their monoclinic structure, the formation of which had been disrupted during cold drawing. Most of the previous studies focused on the effect of annealing on crystal structure, crystallinity, and molecular orientation, using techniques such as x-ray diffraction and birefringence. However
