Abstract

Abstract An undrawn polyester yarn comprising 0.2 to 10% by weight of a polymer having a recurring unit structure represented by the following formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R 1 and R 2 stand for substituents consisting of optional atoms selected from C, H, N, O, S, P and halogen atoms, with the proviso that the sum of the molecular weights of R 1 and R 2 is equal to or more than 40, and n is a positive integer, and having a molecular weight equal to or more than 1000, the elongation increase ratio (I) of the undrawn polyester yarn, represented by the following formula (2), being equal to or more than 8%: ##EQU1## wherein EL b stands for the residual elongation (%) of the undrawn yarn and EL o stands for the residual elongation (%) of a corresponding undrawn polyester yarn substantially free of the polymer represented by the formula (1).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 121 words
An undrawn polyester yarn prepared by a process which comprises: melting a polyester containing 0.2 to 10% by weight of a finely divided and uniformly dispersed polymer consisting of units represented by the following formula (1): ##STR3## wherein R 1 and R 2 is each a substituent consisting of atoms selected from the group consisting of C, H and O atoms, with the proviso that R 1 and R 2 are not phenyl or substituted phenyl and that the sum of the molecular weight of R 1 and R 2 is at least 40, and n is a positive integer; spinning the melt from a spinneret, and taking up the spun yarn at a speed of between 1500 and 8000 n/min.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 121 words
An undrawn polyester yarn prepared by a process which comprises: melting a polyester containing 0.2 to 10% by weight of a finely divided and uniformly dispersed polymer consisting of units represented by the following formula (1): ##STR3## wherein R 1 and R 2 is each a substituent consisting of atoms selected from the group consisting of C, H and O atoms, with the proviso that R 1 and R 2 are not phenyl or substituted phenyl and that the sum of the molecular weight of R 1 and R 2 is at least 40, and n is a positive integer; spinning the melt from a spinneret, and taking up the spun yarn at a speed of between 1500 and 8000 n/min.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
An undrawn polyester yarn according to claim 1, wherein the content of the polymer represented by the formula (1) is 0.5 to 6% by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
An undrawn polyester yarn as set forth in claim 1, having an elongation increase ratio (I) of at least 15%.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 56 words
An undrawn polyester yarn as set forth in claim 1, wherein in the formula (1), R 1 is H or an alkyl group having up to 5 carbon atoms and R 2 is a carboxylic acid ester represented by the formula ##STR4## in which R 3 is an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
An undrawn polyester yarn as set forth in claim 4, wherein R 1 stands for an alkyl group having up to 5 carbon atoms.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
An undrawn polyester yarn as set forth in claim 5, wherein the polymer represented by the formula (1) is poly (methyl methacrylate).
