Three experimental acrylic fibers were characterized by a variety of microscopical methods and by microradiography in order to correlate their microstructures with measured physical properties and to help explain certain test results. By establishntent of a relationship of optical appearances to physical properties for these fibers, future experimental fibers of similar composition could be evaluated and their behavior pre dicted by comparatively rapid optical methods.
