Poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) multi-filaments were continuously drawn and annealed. The maximum values of birefringence, crystallinity, tensile strength and Young′s modulus in the drawn and annealed PPS filament were 249×10
−3 ‚ 27%, 5.3 cN/dtex and 64 cN/dtex‚ respectively. The orientation-induced crystallization was observed at 150×10
-3 of birefringence. The crystal orientation factor f′ was estimated by wide angle X-ray diffraction. The λ
net was estimated by the strain shifting of true stress - true strain curve to the master curve. The orientation estimated by the λ
net differed from that estimated by birefringence. The fiber structure development and the mechanical properties of resultant fibers were discussed in terms of orientation parameters, which were birefringence‚ network draw ratio (λ
net) and crystal orientation factor (f′). The birefringence shows a good correlation with the Young’s modulus. On the other hand, λ
net shows a good correlation with the tensile strength. The f′ shows good correlations with both Young′s modulus and tensile strength‚ however‚ they tend to saturate at high f′. The melting temperature of PPS changed from 280.1ºC to 288.7ºC with the increase of birefringence and λ
net.
