Polyblend fibers were made from mixtures of polypropylene (PP) and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) or their mercapto-modified products [poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate-co-vinyl mercaptoacetate) (EVASH)]. The presence of few EVA or EVASH in the PP fibers results in an increasing of the elastic modulus, indicating a reinforcing action of these functional polymers. The composition surface of the modified PP fibers was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy.
