Description is made of an increased volume synthetic fibre consisting of a porous central core and a large number of short porous lateral threads integral with the core and distributed along the whole length of the fibre so as to form a voluminous branching structure. There is also a description of the procedure used to produce the fibre, which consists of the mixing of a synthetic polymer with an inflating agent which expands when heated, the spinning by means of melting the mixture which results in the inflation and fringing of the threads produced, caused by the inflating agent, followed by the drawing and fixing of the threads thus produced while they are still hot. Examples of the use of the fibres in question are given by filters and padding. |
