In order to clarify the structural formation process during fiber drawing/spinning, we carried out precise analysis with x-ray scattering, optical microscopy, AFM, viscoelastic, FT-IR, and DSC techniques. Especially, we focused on shish-kebab formation process and some ecological materials, such as PLA and polyureas.
