  • BIO-BASED POLYMER BLENDS AND METHODS OF MAKING FIBERS
    Publication number: 20150017439
    Abstract: Polymer blends include bio-based polymers or copolymers with post-consumer and/or post-industrial polymers or copolymers and a compatibilizer. Fibers may be prepared from the polymer blends. In addition, a life cycle analysis of the polymer blends may be superior in at least four of seven categories of the life cycle analysis relative to virgin polyamide 6.6. Methods of making the fibers from polymer blends are also described. The polymer blends are particularly useful in flooring applications, such as carpeting.
