Global InformationBicomponent fiber information
Bicomponent fiber is made of two materials, utilizing desired properties of each material.[1][2]
Such fibers can be created by extrusion spinning.[3][4][5]
One or both materials may remain in the finished product, or one material may be dissolved, leaving only one material remaining. For example, DuPont created the highly coiled elastic fiber called cantrese having two different nylon polymers side-by-side.[6]
