Method of Making a Thermoplastic Copolyester Elastomer-Based Fiber

Abstract

A method of making a thermoplastic copolyester elastomer-based fiber is disclosed. The method comprises: providing a thermoplastic copolyester elastomer having a number average molecular weight of greater than 35,000 g/mol; and spinning the thermoplastic copolyester elastomer to provide a fiber comprising a spun thermoplastic copolyester elastomer, wherein the spun thermoplastic copolyester elastomer has a number average molecular weight that is 98% or less to 50% or more the number average molecular weight of the thermoplastic copolyester elastomer. A thermoplastic copolyester elastomer-based fiber made according to the aforementioned method and a fabric comprising the aforementioned thermoplastic copolyester elastomer-based fiber are also disclosed.
