Abstract

A continuous fibrillated structure, formed by the abrupt pressure release of a two-phase liquid mixture of polymer and solvent at elevated temperature and pressure so as to cause the instantaneous vaporization of the solvent, is shredded by a stream of fluid directed transversely against the continuous fibrillated structure at the moment of its formation.
