- the matrix polymer usable for the present invention is not limited to a special group of thermoplastic polymer, as long as the polymer is capable of being shaped into a filament or fiber and the resultant filament or fiber exhibits satisfactory mechanical properties, for example, elasticity, rigidity, and elongation.
- the matrix polymer may be selected from the group consisting of fiber-forming polyesters, polyamides, polyolefins and polystyrene.

- the dispersed polymer usable for the present invention consists of at least one polysulfone polymer which is different from, non-reactive to and incompatible with the matrix polymer. It is preferable that the dispersed polymer is non-crystalline and has a glass transition temperature of at least 150°C.
- the glass transition temperature of the dispersed polymer can be determined by the method described in U.S. Patent No. 2,556,295.
- the non-crystallinity of the dispersed polymer can be determined by the X-ray wide angle diffractometry. When no diffraction point or line is found in the diffraction X-ray photograph of the dispersed polymer, it is deemed that the dispersed polymer is non-crystalline.

- amount of the dispersed polymer is less than 1% by weight, the number of the resultant protuberances is less than 5 per 10 J.lm2 of the peripheral surface of the resultant filament, and, therefore, the surface appearance and the frictional property of the resultant filament are unsatisfactory.

- the resultant filaments are provided with numerous fine protuberances formed on the peripheral surface of each individual filament.
- the density of the protuberances is at least 5 per 10 ⁇ m 2 of the peripheral surface of the individual filament. In this density, the protuberances are effective for delustering the surface of the resultant filament and for decreasing the dynamic friction of the filament peripheral surfaces with each other and with metal surfaces. Therefore, the filament exhibits a satisfactory delustered surface appearance and a satisfactory frictional property and hand.
- the decreased dynamic frictional property of the filament is effective in increasing the draping property of the fabric made from the filament.
- the protuberances are each in the form of a hemispheroid or hemiellipsoid extending along the longitudinal axis of the individual filament. Also it is preferable that the area of the bottoms of the protuberances is 0.5 pm 2 or more.

- the irregular cross-sectional profile is effective for imparting a silk-like gloss and hand to the filament.
- the dispersed polymer particles dispersed in the matrix polymer in the filaments are effective for enhancing the dyeing property of the filaments, because numerous small voids are formed in the interface between the matrix polymer phase and the dispersed polymer phase. Also, since there is a small difference in the thermal shrinkage between the matrix polymer phase and the dispersed polymer phase, the woven or knitted fabric made from the filaments of the present invention can have a preferable bulkiness and hand.
- Fig. 1 shows an electron microscopic view of a peripheral surface of the filaments of the present invention in a magnification of 3000.
- Fig. 2 shows an electron microscopic view of a peripheral surface of a conventional filament containing 1% by weight of titanium dioxide.
- the peripheral surface of the filament as indicated in Fig. 2 is provided with extremely small projections having irregular shapes. The extremely small projections do not cause the resultant filament to exhibit the properly delustered surface appearance and a proper frictional property like those of the present invention.
- thermoplastic synthetic filaments of the present invention a mixture of 85 to 99% by weight of a thermoplastic matrix polymer with 1 to 15% by weight of a dispersed polymer which consists of at least one polysulfone polymer and which is incompatible with the matrix polymer, is prepared.
- This mixture may be prepared in such a manner that the dispersed polymer is admixed to a polymerization mixture containing monomers for producing the matrix polymer and, then, the admixed polymerization mixture is subjected to a polymerization of the monomers.
- the resultant polymerization mixture contains the resultant matrix polymer and the dispersed polymer which is non-reactive with the matrix polymer. Otherwise, the mixture may be prepared by mixing the matrix polymer with the dispersed polymer.

- the term "snap back value” used herein is defined by the equation (1): wherein SB represents a snap back value in % of the filaments, eb represents a breaking elongation in % of the filaments, rb represents a tensile recovery of % of the filaments at its break and esb represents an elongation of the filaments determined from the difference between the length of the filament at its break and the original length of the filament.
- the filaments sometimes exhibit a poor stretch-breaking property in the draft zone system spinning process and the fabric made from the filaments sometimes exhibits an unsatisfactory raising property in the raising process. That is, sometimes, the resultant spun yarn is uneven and the resultant raised fabric exhibits as uneven surface appearance.

- the bottom of each wing portion is connected to the center portion.
- the center portion of the concave is derived from the removal of the protuberance by the alkali treatment.
- the wing portion of the concave is derived from the removal of a portion of the matrix polymer located just adjacent to the protuberance.
- the alkali may be selected from the group consisting of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate.
- the most preferable alkali is sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
- the concentration of the alkali in its aqueous solution is variable depending on the type of alkali and treating conditions. However, it is preferable that the concentration of the alkali is usually in the range of from 0.1 to 40% by weight, more preferably, from 0.1 to 30% by weight.
- the alkali treatment is preferably carried out at a temperature of from room temperature to 100°C, for one minute to 4 hours. Also, it is preferable that the alkali treatment causes a reduction in the weight of the filaments to an extent of at least 10% of the original weight of the filaments. By this alkali treatment, the protuberances on the peripheral surface of the individual filament are removed so as to form the concaves in the form of hemispheroid or hemiellipsoid.
- each concave has an opening area of at least 5 pm 2. Also, it is preferable that the number of the concaves is at least one per 300 pm 2 of the peripheral surface of the individual filament.
- Fig. 3 shows an electron microscopic view of a peripheral surface of an alkali-treated individual filament which has been prepared from the individual filament of the present invention as indicated in Fig. 1.
- each concave formed on the peripheral surface of the filament is composed of a hemisphere, hemispheroid or hemiellipsoid-shaped, caved center portion and a pair of hemicone or hemielliptic cone-shaped, caved wing portions, extending from the center portion in opposite directions to each other along the longitudinal axis of the filament.
- This configuration of the concave is very specific and was obtained only by alkali treating the filament of the present invention.
- the alkali treatment applied to the filaments of the present invention does not cause the resistance of the resultant filament to fibrillation to be reduced. That is, the alkali treated filaments exhibit a satisfactory resistance to abrasion.
- the treated filament is provided with numerous concaves as shown in Fig. 4.
- the concaves as shown in Fig. 4 are significantly smaller than and different in configuration from the specific concaves as shown in Fig. 3. That is, the configuration of the concaves shown in Fig. 4 is irregular.
- the filaments of the present invention can be converted into a false-twisted filament yarn having an appearance and touch similar to those of conventional hard twist filament yarn. That is, the filaments, which are polyester filaments in a partially oriented state and in the form of a filament yarn, are draw-false twisted under the conditions satisfying the relationship (3): wherein a represents a twist multiplier to be applied to the filament yarn in the range of from 0.4 to 0.9, T represents a false twisting temperature to be applied to the filament yarn in the range of from 150 to 200°C and D represents a draw ratio to be applied to the filament yarn satisfying the relationship (4): wherein R o represents a draw ratio which causes the resultant drawn filament yarn to exhibit an ultimate elongation of 30%.
- the twist multiplier (a) of the filament yarn can be calculated in accordance with the equation (5): wherein TN represents the number of twists applied to the filament yarn and De and De' represent a titer in dtex(den) of the resultant drawn, false-twisted filament yarn.
- the filament yarn to be subjected to the above mentioned draw-false twisting procedure is a partially oriented filament yarn preferably having an ultimate elongation of from 70 to 200%.
- the partially oriented filament yarn can be produced by a conventional high speed spinning process.
- the spinning speed adequate to produce the partially oriented filament yarn is variable depending on the intrinsic viscosity of the matrix polymer, the type and concentration of the dispersed polymer and the titer of the resultant individual filament.
- the spinning process is performed at a high speed of 2000 to 5500 m/sec.
- the filament yarn may consist of the filaments of the present invention alone or a blend of the filaments of the present invention with another type of filament.
- the draw-false twisting procedure is distinctive in the relatively low draw-false twisting temperature of from 150 to 200°C, from the conventional draw-false twisting procedure for conventional polyester filament yarn.
- the draw-false twisting temperature to be applied to the polyester filament yarn is 215°C or more.
- such high temperature causes the individual filaments in the yarn to be fuse-bonded to each other and the dyeing affinity of the filament yarn to be significantly changed.
- the draw-false twisting temperature is relatively low. Therefore, the change in the dyeing affinity of the filament yarn is very small and the filament yarn exhibits a satisfactory draping property.
- the individual filaments in the filament yarn are fuse-bonded to each other to a satisfactory extent.
- the drawn, false-twisted filament yarn exhibits a satisfactory weaving and knitting property.
