Description

本発明は、植物由来のポリ乳酸樹脂が単繊維内において接合されてなる複合繊維であって、優れた捲縮発現性能を有するポリ乳酸複合繊維に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a composite fiber obtained by bonding a plant-derived polylactic acid resin in a single fiber, and relates to a polylactic acid composite fiber having excellent crimp expression.

従来より、クッション材などの中綿用途などには、粘度や収縮率の異なるポリエチレンテレフタレートなどの2種類のポリエステルを並列的または偏心的に接合した複合繊維とし、延伸や熱処理によって捲縮を発現させた繊維が使用されている。   Conventionally, for batting applications such as cushioning materials, two types of polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate with different viscosities and shrinkage rates are used as composite fibers joined in parallel or eccentrically, and crimps are expressed by stretching or heat treatment. Fiber is used.

合成繊維の中でも特にポリエステル繊維は、その優れた寸法安定性、耐候性、機械的特性、耐久性、さらにはリサイクル性等から、衣料、産業資材として不可欠のものとなっており、様々な分野、用途において広く使用されている。   Among synthetic fibers, especially polyester fibers are indispensable as clothing and industrial materials due to their excellent dimensional stability, weather resistance, mechanical properties, durability, and recyclability. Widely used in applications.

しかし、最近は、ポリエチレンテレフタレートなどの従来の合成樹脂が石油を原料としていることから、石油の枯渇を促進させる問題が生じるため、石油の枯渇を遅延する目的から、植物由来であるポリ乳酸樹脂が注目されるようになっている。   However, recently, since conventional synthetic resins such as polyethylene terephthalate are made from petroleum, there is a problem of accelerating the depletion of petroleum. Therefore, for the purpose of delaying the depletion of petroleum, a polylactic acid resin derived from plants is used. It is getting attention.

ポリ乳酸樹脂を使用した繊維として、特許文献1では、分子量や光学純度の異なる2種類のポリ乳酸を並列的または偏心的に接合し、捲縮が発現できるようにした複合繊維が提案されている。この発明においては、ポリ乳酸複合繊維は優れた捲縮発現性能を有するものであったが、2種類のポリ乳酸の分子量と光学純度が特定式の範囲を満足する必要があるため、分子量と光学純度を調整する工程が必要であった。そこで、さらに容易に得ることができ、かつ優れた捲縮発現性能を有するポリ乳酸繊維が要望されていた。

As a fiber using a polylactic acid resin, Patent Document 1 proposes a composite fiber in which two types of polylactic acid having different molecular weights and optical purities are joined in parallel or eccentrically so that crimps can be expressed. . In this invention, the polylactic acid composite fiber has excellent crimping performance, but the molecular weight and optical purity of the two types of polylactic acid must satisfy the range of the specific formula. A step of adjusting the purity was necessary. Thus, there has been a demand for polylactic acid fibers that can be obtained more easily and have excellent crimp expression.

本発明のポリ乳酸複合繊維は、優れた捲縮発現性能を有するものであり、比較的容易に得ることができるので、クッション材などの中綿用途、貼布材などの伸縮性不織布用途等をはじめ、様々な用途に好適に使用することが可能となる。   Since the polylactic acid composite fiber of the present invention has excellent crimp expression performance and can be obtained relatively easily, it is used for batting applications such as cushioning materials, stretchable nonwoven fabric applications such as patch materials, etc. , It can be suitably used for various applications.

以下、本発明について詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

本発明のポリ乳酸複合繊維は、ポリ乳酸樹脂Aとポリ乳酸樹脂Bが、単繊維内において接合されてなる複合繊維である。単繊維内において接合されている形態としては、捲縮発現性能を向上させるためには、並列的又は偏心的に接合されてなる複合繊維とすることが好ましい。つまり、並列的とは2成分が例えばサイドバイサイド型のように貼り合わされている形状であり、偏心的とは2成分が例えば芯鞘型に貼り合わされており、芯部と鞘部の中心点が一致せずにずれているものをいう。
そして、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bはポリ乳酸樹脂Cとポリ乳酸樹脂Dとの混合物である。
The polylactic acid conjugate fiber of the present invention is a conjugate fiber in which a polylactic acid resin A and a polylactic acid resin B are joined in a single fiber. As a form joined in the single fiber, in order to improve crimp expression performance, it is preferable to use a composite fiber joined in parallel or eccentrically. In other words, parallel means that the two components are bonded together like a side-by-side type, for example, and eccentric means that the two components are bonded together, such as a core-sheath type, so that the center points of the core and the sheath coincide. The one that has shifted without.
Polylactic acid resin B is a mixture of polylactic acid resin C and polylactic acid resin D.

本発明のポリ乳酸複合繊維におけるポリ乳酸樹脂Aとポリ乳酸樹脂C、Dとは、ポリ乳酸及び/又はポリ乳酸を主体とする共重合物である。ポリ乳酸を製造するための乳酸としては、D体のみ、L体のみ、D体とL体の混合物のいずれでもよい。ポリ乳酸を主体とする共重合物としては、乳酸(D体のみ、L体のみ、D体とL体の混合物のいずれでもよい。)と、例えばε−カプロラクトン等の環状ラクトン類、α−ヒドロキシ酪酸、α−ヒドロキシイソ酪酸、α−ヒドロキシ吉草酸等のα−オキシ酸類、エチレングリコール、1,4−ブタンジオール等のグリコール類、コハク酸、セバシン酸等のジカルボン酸類から選ばれるモノマーの一種又は二種以上とを共重合したものが挙げられる。   The polylactic acid resin A and the polylactic acid resins C and D in the polylactic acid composite fiber of the present invention are polylactic acid and / or a copolymer mainly composed of polylactic acid. The lactic acid for producing polylactic acid may be only D-form, only L-form, or a mixture of D-form and L-form. Examples of the copolymer mainly composed of polylactic acid include lactic acid (D-form only, L-form alone, and a mixture of D-form and L-form), cyclic lactones such as ε-caprolactone, α-hydroxy, and the like. One or more monomers selected from butyric acid, α-hydroxyisobutyric acid, α-oxyacids such as α-hydroxyvaleric acid, glycols such as ethylene glycol and 1,4-butanediol, and dicarboxylic acids such as succinic acid and sebacic acid What copolymerized 2 or more types is mentioned.

本発明においては、ポリ乳酸樹脂A、ポリ乳酸樹脂C、ポリ乳酸樹脂Dがそれぞれ以下の条件(1)〜(3)を満足し、ポリ乳酸樹脂Dがポリ乳酸樹脂B中の10〜50質量%含有されていることが必要である。   In the present invention, the polylactic acid resin A, the polylactic acid resin C, and the polylactic acid resin D satisfy the following conditions (1) to (3), respectively, and the polylactic acid resin D is 10 to 50 mass in the polylactic acid resin B. % Content is required.

これにより、ポリ乳酸樹脂Aは低収縮成分となり、ポリ乳酸樹脂Cとポリ乳酸樹脂Dとの混合物であるポリ乳酸樹脂Bは、ポリ乳酸樹脂Cにポリ乳酸樹脂Dを混合させることにより、高収縮成分とすることができ、複合繊維を構成する2成分(ポリ乳酸樹脂Aとポリ乳酸樹脂B)が収縮差を有することにより、優れた捲縮発現性能を有する繊維とすることができる。   Thereby, the polylactic acid resin A becomes a low shrinkage component, and the polylactic acid resin B, which is a mixture of the polylactic acid resin C and the polylactic acid resin D, is mixed with the polylactic acid resin D in the high degree of shrinkage. When the two components (polylactic acid resin A and polylactic acid resin B) constituting the composite fiber have a shrinkage difference, a fiber having excellent crimp development performance can be obtained.

まず、条件(1)として、ポリ乳酸樹脂Aは、L−乳酸とD−乳酸の含有比(モル比)であるL/D又はD/Lが98.0/2.0以上であり、中でも98.5/1.5以上が好ましく、さらには99.0/1.0以上が好ましい。L/D又はD/Lが98.0/2.0未満である場合、つまりL/D又はD/Lが97.0/3.0であったり、95.0/5.0というように、主体とするL−乳酸中のD−乳酸の含有割合や、主体とするD−乳酸中のL−乳酸の含有割合が多い場合、ポリ乳酸樹脂Aの収縮が高くなり、高収縮成分であるポリ乳酸樹脂Bとの差が少なくなり、複合繊維は捲縮発現性に劣るものとなる。   First, as the condition (1), the polylactic acid resin A has L / D or D / L which is the content ratio (molar ratio) of L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid is 98.0 / 2.0 or more, especially 98.5 / 1.5 or more. And more preferably 99.0 / 1.0 or more. When L / D or D / L is less than 98.0 / 2.0, that is, L / D or D / L is 97.0 / 3.0 or 95.0 / 5.0, D-lactic acid in L-lactic acid as a main component When the content ratio of L-lactic acid in the main D-lactic acid is large, the shrinkage of the polylactic acid resin A is increased, and the difference from the polylactic acid resin B, which is a highly shrinkable component, is reduced. The fiber is inferior in crimp expression.

次に、条件(2)として、ポリ乳酸樹脂Cは、L−乳酸とD−乳酸の含有比(モル比)であるL/D又はD/Lが98.0/2.0以上であり、中でも98.5/1.5以上が好ましく、さらには99.0/1.0以上が好ましい。L/D又はD/Lが98.0/2.0未満である場合、つまりL/D又はD/Lが97.0/3.0であったり、95.0/5.0というように、主体とするL−乳酸中のD−乳酸の含有割合や、主体とするD−乳酸中のL−乳酸の含有割合が多い場合、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bの結晶性が低下し、延伸工程での融着等が発生しやすくなり、好ましくない。   Next, as the condition (2), the polylactic acid resin C has L / D or D / L which is the content ratio (molar ratio) of L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid is 98.0 / 2.0 or more, and above all, 98.5 / 1.5 The above is preferable, and 99.0 / 1.0 or more is more preferable. When L / D or D / L is less than 98.0 / 2.0, that is, L / D or D / L is 97.0 / 3.0 or 95.0 / 5.0, D-lactic acid in L-lactic acid as a main component When the content ratio of L and the content ratio of L-lactic acid in the main D-lactic acid are large, the crystallinity of the polylactic acid resin B is lowered, and fusion and the like in the stretching process are likely to occur.

さらに条件(3)として、ポリ乳酸樹脂Dは、L−乳酸とD−乳酸の含有比(モル比)であるL/D又はD/Lが90.0/10.0〜93.0/7.0である。L/D又はD/Lが90.0/10.0未満である場合、つまりL/D又はD/Lが89.0/11.0であったり、85.0/15.0というように、主体とするL−乳酸中のD−乳酸の含有割合や、主体とするD−乳酸中のL−乳酸の含有割合が多い場合、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bの結晶性が低下し、延伸工程での融着等が発生しやすくなり、好ましくない。   Furthermore, as the condition (3), in the polylactic acid resin D, L / D or D / L, which is the content ratio (molar ratio) of L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid, is 90.0 / 10.0 to 93.0 / 7.0. When L / D or D / L is less than 90.0 / 10.0, that is, L / D or D / L is 89.0 / 11.0 or 85.0 / 15.0, D-lactic acid in the main L-lactic acid When the content ratio of L and the content ratio of L-lactic acid in the main D-lactic acid are large, the crystallinity of the polylactic acid resin B is lowered, and fusion and the like in the stretching process are likely to occur.

一方、L/D又はD/Lが93.0/7.0を超える場合、つまりL/D又はD/Lが95.0/5.0であったり、98.0/2.0というように、主体とするL−乳酸中のD−乳酸の含有割合や、主体とするD−乳酸中のL−乳酸の含有割合が少ない場合、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bの収縮が低くなり、低収縮成分であるポリ乳酸樹脂Aとの差が少なくなり、捲縮発現性に劣るものとなる。   On the other hand, when L / D or D / L exceeds 93.0 / 7.0, that is, L / D or D / L is 95.0 / 5.0, or 98.0 / 2.0, D- in the main L-lactic acid. When the content ratio of lactic acid or the content ratio of L-lactic acid in the main D-lactic acid is small, the shrinkage of the polylactic acid resin B is low, and the difference from the polylactic acid resin A, which is a low shrinkage component, is small. It will be inferior to crimp expression.

そして、ポリ乳酸樹脂Dの含有量は、ポリ乳酸樹脂B中の10〜50質量%であり、中でも15〜45質量%が好ましく、さらには25〜40質量%とすることが好ましい。   And content of the polylactic acid resin D is 10-50 mass% in the polylactic acid resin B, 15-45 mass% is preferable especially, It is preferable to set it as 25-40 mass%.

上記したように、ポリ乳酸樹脂Cは主たる成分であるL−乳酸またはD−乳酸の比率が高く、低収縮成分であるが、ポリ乳酸樹脂Dは、主たる成分であるL−乳酸またはD−乳酸の比率が低く、高収縮成分である。このような高収縮成分であるポリ乳酸樹脂Dを10〜50質量%混合することによってポリ乳酸樹脂Bを高収縮成分とすることができ、ポリ乳酸樹脂Aとポリ乳酸樹脂Bとの間に収縮差が生じ、延伸や熱処理により捲縮が発現する捲縮発現性能を有する繊維とすることができる。   As described above, the polylactic acid resin C has a high ratio of L-lactic acid or D-lactic acid, which is a main component, and is a low-shrinkage component, but the polylactic acid resin D is L-lactic acid or D-lactic acid, which is a main component. Is a high shrinkage component. By mixing 10 to 50% by mass of the polylactic acid resin D which is such a high shrinkage component, the polylactic acid resin B can be made a high shrinkage component, and shrinkage between the polylactic acid resin A and the polylactic acid resin B is achieved. A fiber having a crimping performance in which a difference occurs and crimps are expressed by stretching or heat treatment can be obtained.

ポリ乳酸樹脂Dの含有量がポリ乳酸樹脂B中の10質量%未満であると、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bを高収縮成分とすることが困難となり、捲縮発現性能に劣るものとなる。一方、50質量%を超えると、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bの結晶性が低下し、延伸工程での融着等が起こり、好ましくない。   When the content of the polylactic acid resin D is less than 10% by mass in the polylactic acid resin B, it becomes difficult to make the polylactic acid resin B a highly shrinkable component, and the crimping performance is inferior. On the other hand, if it exceeds 50% by mass, the crystallinity of the polylactic acid resin B is lowered, and fusion or the like occurs in the stretching step, which is not preferable.

また、本発明においては、捲縮発現性能を考慮して、ポリ乳酸樹脂Aとポリ乳酸樹脂Bが粘度差を有することが好ましく、このため、ポリ乳酸樹脂Aの数平均分子量を小さく、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bの数平均分子量を大きくすることが好ましい。ポリ乳酸樹脂Bの数平均分子量をポリ乳酸樹脂Aより大きくするためには、中でも、ポリ乳酸樹脂C、Dの数平均分子量ともにポリ乳酸樹脂Aより大きいことが好ましい。   In the present invention, it is preferable that the polylactic acid resin A and the polylactic acid resin B have a viscosity difference in consideration of the crimping performance, and therefore, the number average molecular weight of the polylactic acid resin A is small, It is preferable to increase the number average molecular weight of the resin B. In order to make the number average molecular weight of the polylactic acid resin B larger than that of the polylactic acid resin A, the number average molecular weights of the polylactic acid resins C and D are preferably larger than the polylactic acid resin A.

そして、ポリ乳酸樹脂Aとポリ乳酸樹脂Bとの数平均分子量の差は、10000〜30000とすることが好ましい。
なお、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bの数平均分子量は、次式のようにして算出するものである。
〔ポリ乳酸樹脂Cの数平均分子量×ポリ乳酸樹脂Cのポリ乳酸樹脂B中の含有割合(質量%/100)〕+〔ポリ乳酸樹脂Dの数平均分子量×ポリ乳酸樹脂Dのポリ乳酸樹脂B中の含有割合(質量%/100)〕
The difference in the number average molecular weight between the polylactic acid resin A and the polylactic acid resin B is preferably 10,000 to 30,000.
The number average molecular weight of the polylactic acid resin B is calculated as follows.
[Number average molecular weight of polylactic acid resin C × content ratio of polylactic acid resin C in polylactic acid resin B (mass% / 100)] + [Number average molecular weight of polylactic acid resin D × polylactic acid resin B of polylactic acid resin D Content ratio (mass% / 100)]

ポリ乳酸樹脂Aの数平均分子量は55000〜73000とすることが好ましい。ポリ乳酸樹脂Aの数平均分子量が55000未満であると、低粘度となるため、紡糸時に製糸性が悪化する傾向があり好ましくない。また、数平均分子量が73000より大きいと、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bとの粘度差が小さくなり、捲縮発現性が低下しやすくなるため好ましくない。   The number average molecular weight of the polylactic acid resin A is preferably 55000 to 73000. If the number average molecular weight of the polylactic acid resin A is less than 55,000, the viscosity becomes low, and therefore, the spinning property tends to deteriorate during spinning, which is not preferable. Moreover, when the number average molecular weight is larger than 73,000, the difference in viscosity from the polylactic acid resin B becomes small, and the crimp expression tends to be lowered, which is not preferable.

ポリ乳酸樹脂Cの数平均分子量は78000〜95000であることが好ましい。数平均分子量が78000未満であると、ポリ乳酸樹脂Aとの粘度差が小さくなり、捲縮発現性が低下しやすくなるため好ましくない。また、数平均分子量が95000より大きいと、高粘度となるため、溶融押出が困難となる傾向があり好ましくない。   The number average molecular weight of the polylactic acid resin C is preferably 78000 to 95,000. If the number average molecular weight is less than 78000, the difference in viscosity from the polylactic acid resin A becomes small, and the crimp developability tends to decrease, such being undesirable. On the other hand, if the number average molecular weight is larger than 95,000, the viscosity becomes high, so that melt extrusion tends to be difficult.

ポリ乳酸樹脂Dの数平均分子量は60000〜110000であることが好ましい。数平均分子量が60000未満であると、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bとポリ乳酸樹脂Aとの粘度差が小さくなり、捲縮発現性が低下しやすくなるため好ましくない。また、数平均分子量が110000より大きいと、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bが高粘度となり、溶融押出が困難となる傾向があり好ましくない。   The number average molecular weight of the polylactic acid resin D is preferably 60000-110,000. When the number average molecular weight is less than 60000, the difference in viscosity between the polylactic acid resin B and the polylactic acid resin A becomes small, and the crimp expression tends to be lowered, which is not preferable. On the other hand, when the number average molecular weight is larger than 110,000, the polylactic acid resin B has a high viscosity, and melt extrusion tends to be difficult.

また、本発明の複合繊維においては、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲であれば、ポリ乳酸樹脂の耐久性を高めることを目的として、ポリ乳酸樹脂に脂肪族アルコール、カルボジイミド化合物、オキサゾリン化合物、オキサジン化合物、エポキシ化合物などの末端封鎖剤を添加してもよい。   In the conjugate fiber of the present invention, an aliphatic alcohol, a carbodiimide compound, an oxazoline compound, an oxazine is added to the polylactic acid resin for the purpose of enhancing the durability of the polylactic acid resin, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

You may mix in the range which is not (about 10 mass% or less).

Example 1
As the polylactic acid resin A, a polylactic acid resin mainly composed of L-lactic acid having an L / D of 98.6 / 1.4 and a number average molecular weight of 64,300 was used. The polylactic acid resin B is a polylactic acid resin mainly composed of L-lactic acid and having a L / D of 98.8 / 1.2 and a number average molecular weight of 83920, and a polylactic acid resin mainly composed of L-lactic acid.

The polylactic acid resin B is obtained by chip blending polylactic acid resins C and D.
A polylactic acid resin A and a polylactic acid resin B are introduced into a composite spinning apparatus so that the composite ratio is 1/1, and a parallel type (side-by-side type) as shown in FIG. Thus, composite spinning was performed at 220 ° C. at a discharge rate of 430 g / min. The spun yarn was drawn at a take-up speed of 1100 m / min to obtain an undrawn yarn. At this time, there was no yarn breakage during spinning, and the operability was very good.
The obtained undrawn yarn is bundled into a yarn bundle, drawn at a drawing temperature of 60 ° C., a drawing speed of 100 m / min, and a draw ratio of 3.00 times, and then subjected to a tension heat treatment at 90 ° C. After applying mechanical crimping with a crimping device, it was cut into a cut length of 51 mm to obtain short fibers having a fineness of 2.2 dtex.
Using a roller card, the obtained short fibers were opened at a speed of 20 m / min to form a web, subjected to needle punching at a needle density of 192 needles / cm 2 , and then using a hot air passage type heat treatment machine, Heat treatment was performed at 120 ° C. for 2 minutes. By this heat treatment, the crimp of the fiber was expressed, and a nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 150 g / m 2 was obtained.

実施例1〜4、比較例1〜7で得られた繊維(短繊維)及び不織布の特性値等を表1に示す。   Table 1 shows the characteristic values of the fibers (short fibers) and nonwoven fabrics obtained in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7.

表1より、明らかなように、実施例1〜4の複合繊維は紡糸時の糸切れや延伸時に融着が生じることなく、操業性よく得ることができ、捲縮発現性も良好であり、これらの繊維から得られた不織布は伸張率も高いものであった。 一方、比較例1、2の複合繊維は、ポリ乳酸樹脂B中のポリ乳酸樹脂Dの含有量が少なかったため、捲縮発現性に劣るものであった。また、これらの複合繊維から得られた不織布は伸張率の低いものであった。比較例3の複合繊維は、ポリ乳酸樹脂B中のポリ乳酸樹脂Dの含有量が多すぎたため、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bの結晶性が低下し、延伸工程で融着が発生し、繊維を得ることができなかった。比較例4の複合繊維は、ポリ乳酸樹脂AのL/Dが98.0/2.0未満であったため、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bとの収縮差が小さくなり、捲縮発現性に劣るものであった。また、この複合繊維から得られた不織布は伸張率の低いものであった。比較例5の複合繊維は、ポリ乳酸樹脂CのL/Dが98.0/2.0未満であったため、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bの結晶性が低下し、延伸工程での融着が発生し、繊維を得ることができなかった。比較例6の複合繊維は、ポリ乳酸樹脂DのL/Dが93.0/7.0を超えるものであったため、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bの収縮性が低くなり、低収縮成分であるポリ乳酸樹脂Aとの差が少なくなり、捲縮発現性に劣るものであった。また、この複合繊維から得られた不織布は伸張率の低いものであった。比較例7の複合繊維は、ポリ乳酸樹脂DのL/Dが90.0/10.0未満であったため、ポリ乳酸樹脂Bの結晶性が低下し、延伸工程での融着が発生し、繊維を得ることができなかった。   As can be seen from Table 1, the composite fibers of Examples 1 to 4 can be obtained with good operability without fusing at the time of spinning and stretching, and the crimp expression is also good. The nonwoven fabric obtained from these fibers had a high elongation rate. On the other hand, the composite fibers of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were inferior in crimp expression because the content of the polylactic acid resin D in the polylactic acid resin B was small. Moreover, the nonwoven fabric obtained from these composite fibers had a low elongation rate. The composite fiber of Comparative Example 3 has too much content of polylactic acid resin D in polylactic acid resin B, so that the crystallinity of polylactic acid resin B is lowered and fusion occurs in the drawing process to obtain fibers. I could not. Since the composite fiber of Comparative Example 4 had a polylactic acid resin A having an L / D of less than 98.0 / 2.0, the shrinkage difference from the polylactic acid resin B was small, and the crimp expression was inferior. Moreover, the nonwoven fabric obtained from this composite fiber had a low elongation rate. Since the composite fiber of Comparative Example 5 has a polylactic acid resin C having an L / D of less than 98.0 / 2.0, the crystallinity of the polylactic acid resin B is lowered, and fusion occurs in the drawing process, thereby obtaining a fiber. I could not. In the composite fiber of Comparative Example 6, since the L / D of the polylactic acid resin D exceeded 93.0 / 7.0, the shrinkage of the polylactic acid resin B was lowered, and the difference from the polylactic acid resin A, which is a low shrinkage component, And the crimp expression was inferior. Moreover, the nonwoven fabric obtained from this composite fiber had a low elongation rate. In the composite fiber of Comparative Example 7, since the L / D of the polylactic acid resin D is less than 90.0 / 10.0, the crystallinity of the polylactic acid resin B is lowered, and fusion occurs in the drawing process, thereby obtaining a fiber. I could not.
