Disclosed are a composite
elastic fiber and a preparation method therefor. The composite
elastic fiber is a side-by-side hollow bicomponent composite
elastic fiber, and comprises component A and component B, wherein the component A is nylon 6; the component B comprises a nylon 6
elastomer; the nylon 6
elastomer is a linear block
copolymer composed of a polycaprolactam hard segment and a polyether or polyether amine
soft segment; the
mass fraction of the hard segment in the nylon 6
elastomer is 25-90%, and the
mass fraction of the
soft segment therein is 10-75%. The composite
fiber of the present invention has a high three-dimensional self-crimping capability; moreover, the composite
fiber has the characteristics of soft and elastic hand feel, high elongation and excellent resilience, and can be dyed with various types of dyes, resulting in bright colors and deep dyeability; the nylon 6 and the nylon 6 elastomer have a relatively high
moisture regain; by using a hollow structure, the composite elastic
fiber has superior loftiness, and significantly better breathability and
moisture regain compared to other elastic fibers such as
polyester T400, spandex, and textured nylon, and offers a softness that closely resembles cotton.
