An experimental study of the characterization melt spinning cyclopolyolefins is presented. The shear and complex viscosities were measured and the data was found to fit the Cox-Merz relation. The birefringence of the melt-spun filaments was determined and correlated with spinline stress. These were found to be much lower than polycarbonate and polystyrene filaments melt spun under the same conditions. The birefringence was represented in terms of polymer chain orientation. The uniaxial mechanical behavior was also measured. The Young's modulus and tensile strength generally increased with spinline stress and orientation for most cyclopolyolefins. The elongation to break decreased with measured polymer chain orientation for most cyclopolyolefins. For others it was enhanced.
