Multicompartment fibre, multicompartment yarn:
- fibre or yarn formed from multicomponent (or conjugate) fibres by separately extruding fibres of different polymers. While still in the molten state, the fibres are combined and blown with fluid jets. This produces vortices within the fibre. As the fibre is drawn, the vortices can, under the right conditions, be converted to hollow structures running along the length of the fibre. The compartments so formed may lie side by side within the fibre or contained within it in an annular structure.
