Abstract: A composite fiber having a single filament fineness of not more than 8 deniers and comprising:a hydrogenation product of a block copolymer comprising poly(vinylaromatic) blocks and poly(conjugated diene) blocks and containing a specific phenol-based compound and a large amount of an inorganic fine powder anda fiber-forming polymer; this composite fiber has, in spite of a large content of the inorganic fine powder and its small fineness, excellent spinnability upon its production and excellent processability after spinning, as well as excellent fiber properties.

Abstract: A highly oriented, undrawn, conductive, composite filament is provided, which is white or colorless and has antistatic properties durable over a long period when clothing utilizing the fiber are actually put on and washed. The filament is a sheath-core composite filament comprising a sheath of a fiber-forming thermoplastic polymer (A) and a core of a composition (B) comprising a conductive material which comprises a conductive metal oxide and a thermoplastic polyamide, having a core resistance of not more than 9.times.10.sup.10 .OMEGA./cm.multidot.filament, the composite filament maintaining a critical elongation--an elongation reached in the course of extending a composite filament at which the core resistance exceeds 1.times.10.sup.11 .OMEGA./cm.multidot.filament at a D.C. voltage of 1 kV--of at least 5% and a shrinkage in hot water at 100.degree. C. of not higher than 20%.
