Abstract Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) as hydrophilic modification agent and polypropylene-g-maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH) as a compatibilizer were blended with PP to prepare hydrophilic PP/EVOH hollow fibers with hard elasticity by melt spinning. The effect of EVOH on the hydrophilicity of PP matrix and hollow fibers was investigated by WCA and EDS analysis. The crystallization behavior of PP phase in PP/EVOH hollow fibers after adding EVOH was also analyzed by DSC. In addition, the mechanical properties and elastic recovery of PP/EVOH hollow fibers were tested, and the hard elastic behavior of PP/EVOH hollow fibers was comprehensively analyzed. The results showed that the hydrophilicity of PP/EVOH hollow fibers was effectively improved with the increase of EVOH content, and the maximum surface oxygen content of the fiber was 5.65wt%. After adding PP-g-MAH, the crystallization of the PP phase was hindered, resulting in weakening of the hard elasticity of the PP/EVOH hollow fibers. Although the addition of EVOH can play the role of heterogeneous nucleation and promote crystallization, PP/EVOH hollow fibers still showed good hard elasticity. However, the hard elasticity of PP/EVOH hollow fibers were still lower than that of pure PP hollow fiber.
