Disclosed is an apparatus for continuous spinning of coagulative polymeric microfibers comprising an outer microcatheter, an inner microcatheter having a smaller diameter than the outer microcatheter and inserted inside the outer microcatheter, a double lumen part in which the outer microcatheter and the inner microcatheter are coaxially superimposed with a radially spaced interstitial space, and a single lumen part formed by the outer microcatheter from an end of the inner microcatheter to an end of the outer microcatheter. A core fluid supplied through an interior of the inner microcatheter comprises a coagulative polymeric fluid, and a sheath fluid supplied through the interstitial space comprises a fluid including saline, wherein the core fluid and the sheath fluid may be configured to flow coaxially in the single lumen part to generate and discharge a coagulative polymeric microfiber.

An electrospinning device is for manufacturing material that includes aligned nano-fibers. The device includes a rotor and more than one electrically conducting protrusions disposed on the surface of the rotor and spaced apart from one another. The protrusions are configured such that an electrostatic field created when a potential difference is applied between the rotor and a target is concentrated at the tips of the protrusions and decreases between neighboring protrusions.

A melt spinnable fiber is provided that comprises a first component comprising a thermoplastic polymer, and a second component comprising thermoplastic starch where the second component is not encompassed by another component or components or if encompassed by another component or components then the second component encompasses a hollow core. A particular use of such a fiber is for removal of the second component in the presence of a solvent in order to produce fibers with desired properties. An agent may be present in the second component for controlling the rate of removal of the second component thereby allowing for physical manipulation of the fiber prior to complete removal of the component. The invention is also directed to nonwoven webs and disposable articles comprising the fibers.

A method for making a device with a fibrous sheet includes a step of combining a fiber-forming resin with a carrier resin to form a resinous mixture. The fiber forming resin has a fluorinated backbone with a pendent CF.sub.2CF.sub.2X group where X is a SO.sub.3H or SO.sub.2F. The carrier resin is a soluble polyamide. The resinous mixture is extruded to form an extruded resinous mixture. The extruded resinous mixture has fiber strands of the fiber-forming resin within the carrier resin. The extruded resinous mixture is contacted with water to separate the fiber strands of the fiber-forming resin from the carrier resin. Fiber forming strands are optionally cross-linked with ammonia and then are hydrolyzed to form ionomers.

In some embodiments, the inventive subject matter relates to a fiber construct suitable for use as a fill material for insulation or padding, comprising: a primary fiber structure comprising a predetermined length of fiber; a secondary fiber structure, the secondary fiber structure comprising a plurality of relatively short loops spaced along a length of the primary fiber. In some embodiments, the inventive subject matter relates to insulative fiber structures that mimic the structure and scale of natural down and thereby provide similar properties
