Abstract

The invention relates to hydrophilic fibers and filaments with good coloring response to dyes from filament-forming hydrophobic synthetic polymers having a sheath-core structure with a highly microporous core and a substantially compact sheath and having a water retention capacity of at least 10% wherein the pores in the core have an average pore diameter measured in the direction of the cross-section of the fiber, of at most 4000 A. The invention relates also to a process for the production of those filaments and fibers according to a dry-spinning process wherein a spinning solution is spun below the boiling point of the spinning solvent used.
