Abstract

The present invention provides a method of preparing polyarylene sulfide fibers, particularly polyphenylene sulfide fibers, comprising melt blowing a blend of polyarylene sulfide and a polyolefin, wherein the polyolefin is present in the blend in an amount of up to about 40 % by weight of the total blend. The present invention also provides fibers, webs, and other products prepared in accordance with the present inventive method.
