Characterization of Fibers Produced from Blends of Polybutylene and Polypropylene

Blends of polybutylene (PB-1) and polypropylene were used to produce fibers at spinning speeds of 800-2100 m/min. Concentrations ranged from 0% PP to 100% PP. The stress-strain behavior of the resultant fibers was examined, and the fibers were analyzed for crystallinity via DSC (differential scannin...
