Abstract
A highly oriented undrawn polyester fiber which is crystalline such that the fiber is capable of exhibiting a diffraction peak observable in a wide angle X-ray diffraction image of the fiber and has a birefringence of 0.015 to 0.05. A process for preparing highly oriented undrawn core-sheath type conjugated polyester fibers including the step of spinning a polyester as the sheath polymer and a polymer having the larger gradient of elongational viscosity with the temperature than that of the sheath polymer at a spinning speed of about 4000 to 12000 m/min. A textured yarn made of said highly oriented undrawn polyester fibers and a process for preparing the textured yarn.
