In this review, technical papers, product reports, and patents are reviewed to summarize the developments in the production of PEN fibers via melt‐spinning. Mechanical properties of PEN fibers are presented as a function of spinning and drawing parameters. Morphology of PEN fibers are also discussed to understand factors controlling the fiber properties.}, number={2}, journal={POLYMER REVIEWS}, author={Chen, Peng and Kotek, Richard}, year={2008}, pages={392–421} } @article{chen_chen_zhang_zhang_he_2006, title={Effect of glass bead packing on the fibrillation of liquid-crystalline polymer in polycarbonate}, volume={44}, ISSN={["1099-0488"]}, DOI={10.1002/polb.20755}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE PART B-POLYMER PHYSICS}, author={Chen, P and Chen, J and Zhang, BQ and Zhang, J and He, JS}, year={2006}, month={Mar}, pages={1020–1030} } @article{chen_wu_ding_zhang_he_2006, title={Morphology evolution of a liquid crystalline polymer in polycarbonate matrix enhanced by the addition of glass beads}, volume={66}, ISSN={["1879-1050"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.compscitech.2005.11.019}, abstractNote={Polycarbonate (PC)/liquid crystalline polymer (LCP)/glass bead (GB) composites filled with various volume fractions of GB were melt blended and characterized with rheological measurements and morphological observation. The study showed that the morphology evolution of LCP droplets from spheres and ellipsoids to long fibrils during the flow was enhanced by the addition of GB. Increasing shear rate also promoted the fibrillation of LCP. At the first glimpse, increasing the apparent shear rate significantly decreased the viscosity ratio (p) and increased the capillary number (Ca), which facilitated the deformation and fibrillation of LCP, while adding GB affected these parameters less. But a 5% incorporation of GB produced a more pronounced fibrillation effect than an 8-time increase of the apparent shear rate. Image analysis and model establishment were conducted to demonstrate that a high local shear, existing between the closely nearby rotating spheres, increased Ca effectively and promoted the LCP fibrillation even at lower apparent shear rates.}, number={11-12}, journal={COMPOSITES SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY}, author={Chen, Peng and Wu, Lichuan and Ding, Yanfen and Zhang, Jun and He, Jiasong}, year={2006}, month={Sep}, pages={1564–1574} } @article{chen_zhang_he_2005, title={Increased flow property of polycarbonate by adding hollow glass beads}, volume={45}, ISSN={["1548-2634"]}, DOI={10.1002/pen.20382}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={8}, journal={POLYMER ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE}, author={Chen, P and Zhang, J and He, JS}, year={2005}, month={Aug}, pages={1119–1131} } @article{chen_zhang_he_2005, title={Morphology evolution of a liquid crystalline polymer confined by highly packed glass beads in polycarbonate}, volume={46}, ISSN={["1873-2291"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.polymer.2005.05.123}, abstractNote={Very long and perfectly oriented fibrils of a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) were in situ formed in capillary flows by adding large amounts of glass beads (GB) to a polycarbonate (PC)/LCP blend.

Two kinds of analyses were performed: subjective overall handle and primary sensory factors were evaluated using a 99 point polar-word scale, and physical and thermal properties were characterized using the Kawabata evaluation system. Regression analysis was used to relate subjective and objective measurements. The handle of single knits was strongly related to the perception of softness and lightness; the handle of double knits was influenced by the perception of slickness and tightness. Surface friction and weight were associated with the hand ranking of single knits. Fabric surface roughness and bending hysteresis were physical properties that correlated with the hand ranking for double knits. The handle of plain knit loop structures was rated better than that of tuck-loop knits. For summer T-shirt material, single jersey was the preferred choice; for winter sportswear, interlock knits were preferred to other double knits. }, number={4}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={CHEN, PL and BARKER, RL and SMITH, GW and SCRUGGS, B}, year={1992}, month={Apr}, pages={200–211} }
