Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 350 °C

Any other information on results incl. tables

Polyethylene oxide used as a control sample in this case as it has a clear endothermic peak, due to

melting. The peak is clearly visible from around 70C . In comparison the AES shows a static line with no activity,

indicating that below 350C , these fibres are not melting.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
AES fibres show a static line indicating that below 350C there is no melting.
