Recently, we developed a “crystalline” plastic optical fiber with excellent heat resistance and dimensional stability. For the practical use of this crystalline optical fiber in the near future, an accurate control of the solid-state structure is indispensable because of the necessity of reducing light refraction at the crystalline/amorphous interface. In the present study, changes in the fine structure and lamella arrangement upon drawing poly[tetrafluoroethylene-co-(perfluoroethylvinylether)] (abbrev. EFA) transparent crystalline fibers were investigated by using wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) methods. The EFA was crystallized as a lamella crystal in the fibers and formed a thicker lamella (thickness: at least 27 nm). This polymer might form a “switchboard-type” lamella. Upon the drawing of the EFA fibers, four-point SAXS diagrams developed in the photograph, which implied that a particular type of layer structure, an alternately tilted lamella arrangement kn...
