In this paper, we report simple melt-spinning of monofilaments of a set of melt-processable (modified) PTFE grades with weight-average molar masses (M w) ranging from 77 to 292kg/mol. Fibers were spun at 380°C at draw-down ratios of up to 2,750, yielding filaments of linear densities as low as 0.8tex, corresponding to a diameter of ∼20μm. The maximum Young's modulus and tensile strength of as-spun fibers produced in this study were 91.7cN/tex (1,972MPa) and 12.0cN/tex (258MPa), respectively, accompanied by a strain to break of 24%.
