Conclusions
The introduction of a nonfiber-forming substance — polystyrene — into cellulose triacetate does not cause the formation of long microfibers in the polymer matrix; the polystyrene is distributed along the fiber axis in the form of stretched-out regions.
The addition of polystyrene helps increase the strength figures for triacetate fibers by more than 20%.
