The birefringence property of Hard Elastic polypropylene(HEPP) fiber is different from that of usual PP fibet,because it will produce a lot of microvoids on the stretching,which is observed by SEM.Furthermore,the elasticity of HEPP fiber will be reduced in an infiltrating medium(e.g.silicon oil),and be constant in a unfiltrating medium(e.g.water).When the medium was infiltrated into the microvoids,the surface energy will be decreased,and the e-lasticity will be reduced also.Meanwhile it is the microvoids structure that results also in change of its birefringence properties,becaust of Form Birefringence (△form).The birefrin-gence of HEPP fiber is measured on the stretching in the different medium by polarized mi-croscopy using compensator.It was found that there is a maximum extreme value of HEPP birefringence to different draw ratio with increasing the refringence of various infiltrating me-dia.In this case,the refringence of HEPP fiber iS equal to that of the medium (n=1.54),and Form Birefringence is equal to gero.
