| 20110294962 | CROSS LINKED FIBERS AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME USING TRANSITION METAL IONS - The present disclosure relates to a method of forming fibers. First and second precursors, each possessing a core and at least one functional group known to have click reactivity, are mixed in a hopper. The mixed precursors are then extruded through an extrusion die to crosslink and produce a filament. Polymerization of the first and second precursors is catalyzed by transition metal ions. | 12-01-2011 |
