Abstract
Abstract Melt blended shaped objects, fibers and fabrics of polyesters with lactam-polyol-polyacyl lactam or -acyl polylactam terpolymers have desirable anti-static properties with the improvement resulting from the presence of the polyol content of the said terpolymer. Such fibers are useful for carpeting, draperies, apparel and nonwoven fabrics.
