The viscosity of the molten ma-terials, bio-solubility and crystallization behavior of the fiber were investigated. The results indicated that the fiber drawing tempera-ture range could be broadened since the slope of the temperature-viscosity curve decreased with adding rare earth oxide. The addition of rare earth oxide was beneficial to the increase of crystallization temperature by strengthening the network structure of the fiber. The existence of rare earth oxide in the fibers would reduce the solubility of the fibers, which still belonged to bio-soluble fibers.展开更多
