Conclusion
The dependence of the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of fibres from polypropylene containing grafted polystyrene and of the anion-exchange fibres based on them on the content of grafted polystyrene in the fibre has been examined.
It has been shown that the observed decrease in strength and elastic modulus of the original polypropylene fibre on grafting polystyrene and subsequent polymer-analogous transformations of it is entirely caused by an increase in linear density of the fibres.
The animated polystyrene grafted to the polypropylene ensures an increase in the softening point of the anion-exchange fibres of 80 to 100°C as compared with the softening point of the original polyproplene fibre.
