Принадлежит: International Paper Co

Thermally expandable crimped hollow fibers having expandable regions interconnected with crimped portions are provided. The crimped hollow fibers may be formed from any hollow polymer fiber that is capable of being crimped and is reactive to heat. Pressure, such as from two opposed mating crimping dies, is applied to portions of a hollow polymer fiber to compress or crimp portions of the fiber, thereby leaving uncrimped or expandable regions containing an expandable substance. In use, the crimped hollow fibers may be contacted with cellulose fibers in the wet-end section of the paper-making process and the resulting mixture formed into a web of entangled fibers. Heat from the dryer section expands the expandable substance in the expandable portion of the crimped hollow fiber to bulk the thus formed paper product. The crimped hollow fibers are especially useful in papers having a basis weight from about 20 to about 200 gsm.
