Abstract

The manufacturing of wet-spun synthetic fibers is a very important process. The main commercially available wet-spun fibers are covered in this context. The extrusion, coagulation, and drawing stages—as well as the fundamentals of wet spinning—are explained. A brief explanation of the factors influencing the spinning process and polymer solution, which ultimately impact the behavior and performance of the resulting fiber, is provided. The manufacture of acrylic and cuprammonium fiber and the resulting fiber properties receive particular attention. Wet-spun fibers' end-use characteristics are also assessed. Lastly, a summary of recent advancements in the production of wet-spun fiber and potential futures is provided.
