A fiber manufacturing apparatus includes: a fiber manufacturing portion including a first operation unit including a first operation surface and a second operation unit including a second operation surface facing the first operation surface, wherein at least one of the first operation unit and the second operation unit performs a reciprocating motion to manufacture a fiber between the first operation surface and the second operation surface; and a fiber collecting portion configured to collect the fiber manufactured between the first operation surface and the second operation surface, wherein at least one of the first operation surface and the second operation surface includes a polymer solution.

A method for producing a bundle of biopolymer fibers. Biopolymer is dissolved in acid in a closed container made of materials inert to the acid and to the collagen to form a biopolymer solution. The solution is stirred, then centrifuged to degas it. The degassed solution is put into syringes on a holder. The number of syringes equals the number of fibers in the bundle. The syringes are mounted in a rotatable holder. Essentially equal quantities of degassed solution are extruded from the syringes to produce fibers, which are gathered and fed into a formation buffer bath. The fibers are kept taught after extrusion and dehydrated in a dehydrating solution in a dehydrating bath. The fibers are wound a collector to collect the bundle.

The invention relates to a method for producing a multicomponent fiber, wherein the fiber is formed from a plurality of filaments, where the filaments each have a core and a thermoplastic sheath, and where the sheath is generated during the production of the filaments by in situ polymerization of monomers or oligomers of the thermoplastic on the surface of the core, and also to multicomponent fibers produced accordingly and to organosheets produced therefrom.
