Improving properties of polymeric and non-polymeric fibers, for example mechanical, dimensional stability, thermal degradation, and etc. with understanding a recent theoretical investigation on the solid mechanism of single crystal growth leads to obtain fiber-based products with unusual characteristics. Similarly, high performance fibers are important engineering products and widely used due to their outstanding mechanical property along with dimensional stability. They have found extensive use as fiber reinforcement and can be utilized in many applications such as cords, ropes, performance fabrics, electronic packaging, sports equipment and fiber optics (Hearle, 2001; Kerr, Chawla and Chawla, 2005). It is well known that the highest tenacity and elastic moduli reported for such fibers are still much lower than their theoretical values. An extensive open gap between theoretical values and practical results encourage scientists to work
and improve the mechanical properties. On the other hand, due to their nonconventional chemistry and instrumentation, many researches have been concentrated on reducing its production costs. Additionally, there is no single fiber chemistry that can withstand all sort of end-use conditions. The objective of this review paper is to provide a critical andconstructive analysis on current state of art high performance fiber production and modification techniques. Current problems and novel solutions were emphasized separately.

YÜKSEK PERFORMANSLI LİFLER: GÜNCEL VE GELECEK DURUMU ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME

Öz

Polimerik ve polimerik olmayan liflerin özelliklerinin iyileştirilmesi, örneğin mekanik, boyutsal stabilite, ısıl bozunma gibi diğer özellikler ile birlikte lif oluşumu sırasında tek kristal büyümenin katı mekanizması üzerindeki son teorik araştırmaların anlaşılması, lif karakteristiklerinin alışılmadık üstün özelliklere sahip olmasını sağlar. Benzer şekilde, yüksek performanslı lifler önemli mühendislik ürünleridir ve boyutsal stabilite ile birlikte üstün mekanik özelliklerinden dolayı yaygın olarak kullanılırlar. Fiber takviyesi olarak geniş kullanım alanı bulmuşlardır örneğin kordonlar, halatlar, performans kumaşları, elektronik ambalajlar, spor malzemeleri ve fiber optikler gibi birçok uygulamada kullanılabilirler (Hearle, 2001; Kerr, Chawla ve Chawla, 2005). Yapılan araştırmalarda performans liflerinden elde edilen en yüksek mukavemet ve elastik modüllerin teorik değerlerinden çok daha düşük olduğu iyi bilinmektedir. Teorik değerler ve pratik sonuçlar arasındaki açık fark, bilim insanlarını mekanik özelliklerini iyileştirmek için araştırmalara teşvik etmektedir. Diğer taraftan, konvansiyonel olmayan yöntem ve kimyasalların bulunmasıyla yüksek performans lif üretiminde maliyetlerin düşürülmesi için birçok araştırma yapılmaktadır. Ek olarak, her türlü son kullanım koşuluna dayanabilecek tek bir lif kimyası bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, son teknolojiye sahip yüksek performanslı elyaf üretimi ve modifikasyon teknikleri hakkında bir inceleme yapılmıştır. Güncel sorunlar ve yeni çözümler ayrı ayrı ele alınıp vurgulanmıştır.
