Abstract
Polyblend fibers were made from mixtures of polypropylene (PP) and eth ylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) or their mercapto-modified produc ts [poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate-co-vinyl mercaptoacetate) (EVASH)]. The presence of few EVA or EVASH in the PP fibers results in an incre asing of the elastic modulus, indicating a reinforcing action of these functional polymers. The composition surface of the modified PP fiber s was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and diffuse reflect ance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. (C) 1997 John Wiley & So ns, Inc.
