A stress-strain study has been made of various fibers to determine their entropy force behavior at room temperature. The relative importance of the entropy and internal energy forces is shown with some illustrations of the use of these quantities in under standing the fine structure of polymers. Details are presented to show the effects of extension and godet stretch on some samples.
