In this paper, the development of diameter and surface temperature of Lyocell fibers was measured online. The diameter and tensile force on the spin line in the coagulation bath were traced. The velocity, velocity gradient and the tensile stress profiles development of the fibers in the air gap were studied. The apparent elongational viscosity of cellulose N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide monohydrate (NMMI-MH) solutions was studied by steady-state melt spinning theory. The decrease of the fiber diameter was mainly taking place near the spinneret, and the decrease of the diameter became more dramatic with increasing taking-up speed. The surface temperature of the fibers was also dropping faster with increasing taking-up speed for the heat transfer coefficient increased. The diameter of the Lyocell fibers almost did not change before and after it entered the coagulation bath. The tensile force on the spin line increases with increasing taking-up speed and coagulation bath length. The velocity and the tensile stress increase slowly near the spinneret, and then accelerate. The apparent elongational viscosity of cellulose NMMO-MH solutions decreases with increasing temperature at the same elongation rate and decreases with increasing elongation rate at the same temperature. The fiber of the Lyocell process was not really solidified in the air gap and a gel or rubbery state was formed.
