Abstract: A method for the production of melt-spun fibers comprising polyethylene terephthalate as a fiber-forming polymer, through polycondensation or melting of the fiber-forming polymer forming a melt and subsequently melt spinning, comprises mixing 0.1-4 wt %, relative to the fiber-forming polymer, of polymethyl methacrylate with the fiber-forming polymer before the melt spinning and dispersing the polymethyl methacrylate in the fiber-forming polymer to form unoriented melt fibers. During the melt spinning, the spinning speed of the fibers is set at up to 8000 m/min, whereby through the inclusion in the unoriented melt fibers, extruded from a sincerest, rod-shaped inclusions of the polymethyl methacrylate with a lateral particle size of less than 800 nm are obtained.

Abstract: The invention relates to fibers or filaments, consisting predominantly of polyethylene terephthalate as a fiber-forming polymer, that contain 0.1-4 wt %, relative to the fiber-forming polymer, of polymethyl methacrylate as another polymer, predominantly in the form of rod-shaped inclusions, whereby in the unoriented melt fibers under the spinneret, the mean lateral diameter of the rods is less than 800 nm and the polymethyl methacrylate has, a weight average molecular weight of between 20,000 and 200,000 g/mol, and whereby the spinning speed of the spun fibers in the production is up to 8000 m/min. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the production of these novel polyester fibers and filaments.
