Provided is a tape including a composition having a copolyester including polymeric units derived from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid or a diester thereof and >0.50 and <5.00 wt % of polymeric units with regard to the total weight of the polyester derived from an oligomeric dihydroxy compound having a number average molecular weight of >500 g/mol and <5000 g/mol. Such tape has an improved tensile-impact strength and a reduced proneness to splitting during weaving.

A composite filament includes a sulfonated polyester matrix and a plurality of silver nanoparticles dispersed within the matrix and methods of making thereof. Various articles can be manufactured from such composite filaments.

Disclosed are a polyurethane elastic fiber with a flame retardant function and a preparation method thereof. The polyurethane elastic fiber is prepared by using a polyether diol containing phosphorus elements or a polyester diol containing phosphorus elements as a raw material to react with 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate to prepare a prepolymer, extending the chain using an organic amine to obtain a polyurethane solution, and dry spinning with the polymer solution to prepare the polyurethane fiber. The limit oxygen index of the prepared polyurethane fiber was between 25% and 32%.

An object of the present invention is to improve spinnability, productivity, and tensile strength of a polyester fiber containing poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate). By spinning the polyester resin containing the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) at a high spinning velocity, the spinnability, productivity, and tensile strength of the polyester fiber can be improved.
