Abstract
The degree of radial fibrillar texturing is in the same fibre order as tensile modulus and crystalline domain orientation for PBO fibres with different processing histories. It is proposed that the degree of radial fibrillar texturing is therefore related to fibre homogeneity. An extrapolation of tensile modulus to that of a perfectly homogeneous fibre results in a value in good agreement with the PBO crystal modulus. This further supports the proposal that the degree of radial fibrillar texturing is related to fibre homogeneity.
