✦ Synopsis

Superdrawn fibers of an elastomer-poly(oxymethylene) (POM) blend have been prepared and investigated in terms of the structure and mechanical properties. The development of the mechanical properties along the fiber axis and the formation of a higher order structure during drawing were slightly retarded by blending, but the loop tenacity increased greatly with the elastomer content. The blend microtextures had an immiscible and phase-separated morphology in which the elastomer was dispersed in the form of streaks between the oriented POM layers, which allowed the fiber to split into smaller filaments on bending. The high loop tenacity of the blend fibers is due to an increase in the radius of curvature resulting from the filament splitting on bending, because the shear stress at the bending corner becomes higher as the radius of curvature increases.
