<p>Process of producing a polypropylene containing fiber and the resulting fiber and non-woven articles are described. The process involves the extruding of polypropylene containing material having a broad molecular weight distribution to form a hot extrudate having a surface, and quenching the hot extrudate in an oxidative atmosphere so as to effect oxidative chain scission degradation of the surface to obtain a fiber having a higher average melt flow rate as compared to an average melt flow rate of an inner, non-degraded portion thereof, and containing at least 7 weight percent of molecules having a molecular weight greater than 5 x 10<5>.</p> |
