Biodegradable, oriented, flat starch-filled polypropylene fibres

  • Published:
Fibre Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

It was found that PP filled with chemically modified starch is suitable for spinning biodegradable, oriented, high-strength flat fibres with elevated performance properties (tensile strength, water absorption, biodegradability) and woven packaging containers made from them. The structure of the composite fibres is perfected by improving the process compatibility of the binder and starch particles due to intensification of the physicochemical and the occurrence of chemical reactions on the phase boundaries. The use of such polymeric materials and fibres in the packaging industry will facilitate solving a pressing environmental problem in textile materials science — utilization of wastes from fibres made of synthetic polymers.
