In the present work, an attempt has been made to study the development of morphology during extrusion and uniaxial stretching of polypropylene (PP) films and filaments at corresponding conditions. Dies for extrusion of films and filaments were designed to achieve similar extrusion velocity and shear rates. Orientation in films and fibers of PP produced from these dies was determined by birefringence and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The degree of crystallinity was determined by density and WAXD. The superstructure developed during extrusion was studied in films by small-angle light scattering. It was inferred that films and fibers prepared under similar conditions would produce similar morphology. Hence, films can be characterized by optical techniques when it is difficult to study fibers.
