Abstract

A self-crimping, melt-spun acrylonitrile polymer fiber comprising as the continuous fiber matrix a first polymer comprising from about 80 to about 99 weight percent acrylonitrile and from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of one or more monomers copolymerizable with acrylonitrile and heterogeneously dispersed within said fiber matrix a second polymer incompatible with said first polymer.
