Enhancing the Dyeability of Polypropylene Fibers by Melt Blending with Polyethylene Terephthalate

Attempts were made to modify polypropylene fibers by melt blending with polyethylene terephthalate in order to enhance the dyeability of the resultant fiber. Five blends of polypropylene/polyethylene terephthalate/compatibilizer were prepared and subsequently spun into fibers. Three disperse dyes we...
