Sliver for spinning, method for producing the same, and spun yarn and fiber product using the same

Abstract

A sliver for spinning of the invention is a sliver for spinning having a deodorizing function and/or a heat-generating moisture absorption function, wherein a sliver for spinning formed as a bundle in which staple fibers are aligned in one direction is irradiated with an electron beam to provide an activating group and/or produce a radical on a surface of the fibers, and a compound including an ethylenic unsaturated double bond is chemically bonded to the surface of the fibers. A spun yarn of the invention is a spun yarn having a deodorizing function and/or a heat-generating moisture absorption function, including the above-described sliver for spinning that has been spun, or including the above-described sliver for spinning and a sliver other than the sliver for spinning that have been blended and spun. A fiber product of the invention has a deodorizing function and/or a heat-generating moisture absorption function, including the above-described spun yarn. Thereby, a sliver having a deodorizing function and/or a heat-generating moisture absorption function, a method for producing the sliver in an efficient and rational manner, and a spun yarn and a fiber product using the sliver are provided.
