Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for stretch breaking fibers wherein the formation of relatively small (lengths less than 30 microns) fractured fibers is substantially reduced. This reduction is achieved by applying a dampening fluid to the bundle of fibers during stretch breaking to dampen shockwaves generated during the fracturing process. The fractured fiber bundle may be subsequently treated with a sizing material to improve bundle cohesiveness and handling characteristics.
