Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer fiber includes an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer containing 0.1 to 10 mol % of a modified component and 5 to 55 mol % of ethylene, and has a crystallinity of 25% to 50%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer fiber comprising: a modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer containing 0.1 mol % to 10 mol % of the following structural unit (I), and 5 mol % to 55 mol % of ethylene, the modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer fiber having a crystallinity of 25% to 50%, wherein R′, R 2 , R 3 and R 4 represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an alicyclic hydrocarbon group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, or an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, R′, R 2 , R 3 and R 4 may be the same as or different from each other, R 3 and R 4 may be bonded to each other, and R′, R 2 , R 3 and R 4 may have a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, or a halogen atom. 2. The modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer fiber of claim 1 , having a crystallite size of 30 Å to 50 Å. 3. The modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer fiber of claim 1 , having a melting point of 60° C. to 160° C. 4. A fiber structure comprising the modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer fiber of claim 1 .
