Abstract
Additives can be permanently incorporated into melt spun fibers by cold drawing the fibers under conditions that generate a network of interconnecting microvoids within the fiber. The microvoids are formed in the presence of specified liquid or vapor media which fill the microvoid network. The temperature of the medium is below the effective glass transition temperature of the fibers containing said medium. The additive is either present in said medium or is applied to drawn fibers containing said medium.
