example 5
[0089] Example 5 shows the effect of incorporating just 2% EASTAR BIO GP from Eastman Chemical Company. EASTAR BIO is a copolyester of butylene glycol with a mixture of 57 mole % adipic acid and 43 mole % terephthalic acid. The softening effect of the EASTAR BIO allows the fiber to be drawn to a high degree and crimped without loss of properties and actually increases tenacity upon aging.
[0090] Examples 6, 7, and 9 show the effect of low speed spinning followed by moderate amounts of draw in a single subsequent stage at 70° C. Note that with increasing draw, the tenacity increases but also an observed increase in tenacity upon aging is seen to increase with drawing. In all these cases, the relatively amorphous, unoriented material is drawn without creating internal stresses or crazes.
[0091] Example 8 shows that it is possible to take the minimally drawn PLA from Example 7 and draw it again to a high degree, resulting in high tenacity and a fiber that improves tenacity upon aging.
