Fibers spun from blends of small percentage of plastic grade polypropylene (HMPP) with fiber grade polypropylene ( P P ) are studied for drawing behavior. A factorial design of experiment is used for a two-stage drawing process with variables, such as percent of HMPP component, first stage draw rati

β¦ Synopsis
Blends of small percentage of plastic grade polypropylene with fiber grade polypropylene are studied in unoriented and oriented states. A 3% blend sample has a higher spherulitic growth rate, and improved mechanical behavior in drawn fiber state as compared to the parent sample. These changes are related to the presence of bimodal and trimodal crystal texture of polypropylene in the blend, respectively. At a higher blend percent, specifically at 10 and 15%, the mechanical properties of the drawn fiber are inferior and these are related to partial phase segregation of the components.
The present investigation deals with the blends of fiber grade PP and a small percentage of plastic grade PP with a view to study the crystallization

## Abstract Polypropylene (PP) filaments are prepared by blending two different molecular weight components of PP. A meltβspinning process to produce filaments includes mixing of components, extrusion, and twoβstage drawing, followed by a unique Gradient Drawingβ’ process. Blending results in highly
The mechanical properties of multifilament yarns, spun from the blends of a plastic-grade polymer with a fiber-grade CR-polymer in the composition range of 10 -50 wt % added, were investigated.
