Abstract
The present invention relates to crosslinked, olefin elastic fibers having a reduced coefficient of friction. More particularly the invention relates to crosslinked, olefin elastic fibers containing organic or inorganic fillers. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to crosslinked, polyethylene based elastic fibers containing inorganic fillers.
Claims20
A fiber comprising a crosslinked olefin polymer and from 0.1 to 5 percent by weight of one or more organic or inorganic fillers.
A method for improving the dynamic coefficient of elastic fibers comprising an olefin polymer, said method comprising adding one or more organic or inorganic fillers into the olefin polymer prior to forming the fiber.
