ELASTIC FIBERS, FABRICS AND ARTICLES FABRICATED THEREFROM

摘要

Elastic fibers and fabrics made from homogeneously branched substantially linear ethylene polymers are disclosed which can be produced on conventional polypropylene or polyethylene fiber or fabric processes. They can be used to produce highly elastic structures that can have recycle compatibility between elastic and non-elastic components. The novel fibers have at least 50 percent recovery at 100 percent strain. The fibers and fabrics are especially useful in making fabricated articles and components thereof (e.g., disposable diapers).
