Attenuating PP/PET bicomponent melt blown microfibers.(polyethylene terephthalate)

From: Polymer Engineering and Science | Date: February 1, 2003| Author: | Copyright information

This research investigated the attenuation of polypropylene (PP)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) bicomponent (bico) filaments during the melt blowing (MB) process. It was found that both mono- and bi-component filaments attenuated from several hundred micrometers to a few micrometers in the first 5 centimeters from the die. However, fiber diameter distributions were found to be broad in these regions. The filaments were attenuated much slower but exhibited narrower diameter distributions as they moved further from the die. The diameters of bico MB filaments were between those of 100% PP ...
