Abstract

Filaments from a polyester resin having an elastic modulus higher than 30 GPa and stress at break greater than 300 MPa. The filaments are obtained by upgrading under stretch filaments prepared from polyester resin mixed in the melt with a polyfunctional compound able to increase the polymer intrinsic viscosity by addition reaction in the solid state with the terminal groups of the resin.
