Abstract
Conventional direct dyeing techniques have limited use for the colorat ion of polypropylene fibers. In this paper, blends of isotactic polypr opylene (iPP) with hydrogenated oligocyclopentadiene (HOCP), a glassy amorphous resin, have been used for the preparation of fibers dyeable in an aqueous dyebath. These fibers show better light, wet-washing and cleaning fastness properties than iPP while retaining similar statica l mechanical properties.
