Abstract:
The biocomponent fiber functions as a carrier or vehicle for delivering additives to a polymer composition. The bicomponent fiber may be “splittable segmented pie” or “island-in-the-sea” construction with the sea being the low melt temperature component and the island being the high melt temperature component. The low melt temperature polymer may be selected from the group consisting of low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkenoate (PHA), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinylidene fluoride, polybutylene succinate (PBS), low melt temperature polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) and low melt temperature nylons. The high melt temperature component polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), co-polyester, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyether ether ketones (PEEK), polyphenylene sulfides (PPS), high melt temperature nylon, polylactic acid (PLA), including stereocomplex PLA, namely 100% PDLA, 100% PLLA or a 50/50 blend of 100% PDLA and 100% PLLA.

Claim (Index 8):
The bicomponent fiber according to  claim 5 , wherein the additive is selected from the group consisting of pigments, dyes, fluorescents, colorants, inorganic fillers, including carbon black, clays, kaolin and the like, light blockers, compatibilizers, infrared absorbers, antimicrobials, gloss agents, anti-counterfeiting agents, impact modifiers, plasticizers, nucleating agents, dispersants, flame retardants, antistatic agents, peroxides, lubricants, and odor managers.
