Abstract :The increasing interest in wet-spun filaments has also sparked enthusiasm for custom-designed wet spinning setups. Tailored laboratory systems are valuable both for exploring novel polymer compositions and for modifying the setup components in the future. In this study, a concise outline of current practices, trends, and developments in laboratory-type wet spinning technologies is provided. Also, a custom-designed laboratory-scale wet spinning setup is introduced in detail. The constructed setup combines the controllable syringe, traveller, and winding unit via a single digital interface. The modular needle holder of the setup provides air gap spinning and multiple injection angles. The speeds of both the traveller, which regulates filament winding, and the winding cylinder can be adjusted via the touchscreen monitor. Such an integrated, complex, and modular system enables precise control of process parameters. Also, it is possible to precisely examine the effects of process-related parameters on the filament properties. Moreover, multiple control systems with a single interface provide the ability to draw filaments under controlled tension. This system further offers an adaptable framework for new developments, such as data monitoring and module integration, offering considerable versatility and cost advantages in both research and production processes.
