Abstract
Abstract Modified polyamide fibers containing a polyethylene glycol or its derivative can be produced without accompaniment of inter-filamentary or inter-yarn adhesion which has been a drawback at the time of spinning of said type of polyamide fibers, by using as a raw material of melt spinning a polyamide which is obtained by incorporating in said polyamide one or more of long chain fatty acids having carbon atoms of 11 or more or salts formed between said fatty acids and metals of Ist, IInd or IIIrd group of the Periodical Table, long chain alcohols having carbon atoms of 11 or more, esters of said long chain alcohols, higher alkyl amines having carbon atoms of 11 or more, or higher alkanoyl amides having carbon atoms of 11 or more.
