  • Fiber
    Patent number: 12703931
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fiber obtainable or being obtained by a method comprising: spinning a melt comprising an aliphatic polyester, an aliphatic-aromatic polyester, and a polyhydroxyalkanoate through a hollow fiber spinning nozzle to obtain a precursor fiber; and cooling the precursor fiber under a temperature gradient, thereby obtaining the fiber. The invention also relates to yarns and clothings made from such fiber and to methods of preparing such fiber.
    Type: Grant
