Abstract: A composition with advantages for textile fibers is disclosed. The composition is a melt of polyester precursors selected from the group consisting of terephthalic acid, dimethyl terephthalate, ethylene glycol, sebacic acid in an amount sufficient to give filaments and fibers made from the melt a dye receptivity similar to cotton at atmospheric pressure; pentaerythritol in an amount sufficient to give pill resistance to yarns blended of cotton with fibers made from the melt, and polyethylene glycol in an amount sufficient to give the melt the elasticity necessary to produce extruded filament from the melt. In an exemplary embodiment, the copolymer melt includes between about 4 and 6 percent sebacic acid, between about 500 and 800 ppm pentaerythritol, and between about 3.5 and 3.9 percent polyethylene glycol, with less than 2 percent DEG, at an intrinsic viscosity of between about 0.640 and 0.690 dl/g, and at a temperature of between about 268° C. and 271° C.

Abstract: A yarn disclosed that is formed of a blend of polyester fibers customized by three parameters (1) a combination of polyester staple fibers with staple lengths of 1.5 inches, 1.25 inches, 1.0 inch and 0.75 inch; (2) a combination of polyester staple fibers with staple deniers (tex, fineness) of 1.0 dpf, 1.2 dpf, and 1.5 dpf; and (3) a combination of polyester staple fibers with at least two different staple cross sections.

Abstract: A copolymer composition is disclosed with advantages for textile fibers, yarns, blended yarns, fabrics, and garments. The composition includes polyester copolymer, between about 4.5 and 5.5 percent adipic acid based on the amount of copolymer, between about 630 and 770 parts per million (ppm) of pentaerythritol based on the amount of copolymer, and between about 3.4 and 4.2 percent polyethylene glycol based on the amount of copolymer.

Abstract: A dyed blended yarn is disclosed that includes cotton fibers, polyester fibers, and a dye selected from the group consisting of direct dyes and reactive dyes. The polyester fibers consist essentially of between about 9 and 16 mole percent of DEG based on the amount of polyester, between about 3.5 and 7 mole percent of adipic acid based on the amount of polyester, and between about 200 and 2000 ppm by weight pentaerythritol based on the amount of polyester. The blended yarn includes a dye selected from the group consisting of direct dyes and reactive dyes.

Abstract: A polymer bag is disclosed, along with a method of manufacture. The bag is formed of two facing sheets of polymer film, a top edge, a bottom edge, and two side edges. A polymeric zipper is attached to the inside of the facing sheets parallel to and between the top and bottom edges. A respective reinforcing patch is positioned on the inside surface of each of the two respective facing sheets and between the zipper and the top edge. An opening through each reinforcing patch and in the face overlying each patch defines a bag handle.

Abstract: A spun yarn includes a bicomponent staple fiber comprising poly(trimethylene terephthalate) and cotton staple fiber, where the poly(trimethylene terephthalate) is present at a level of at least 1 wt % and less than 20 wt % based on total weight of the spun yarn.
