Abstract
A filament produced from a wet-spinning process. The process comprising (a) preparing a dispersion of particles of refractory material; (b)preparing a spin mix by mixing said dispersion with a carrier solution comprising a salt of cellulose xanthate, wherein the weight ratio of said particles to cellulose of said cellulose xanthate in said spin mix is greater than about 1:4; (c) wet spinning said spin mix to form at least one filament of cellulose having at least a portion of said particles dispersed therein; and (d) optionally heating said at least one filament to sufficient temperatures and over sufficient durations to remove substantially all of said regenerated cellulose and to sinter said refractory particles to thereby form said at least one filament of refractory material is disclosed for producing fibers of refractory material.

8. A filament of regenerated cellulose containing ceramic particles, said filament being formed from a process comprising the steps of:
-
preparing a spin mix of a solution of cellulose and ceramic particles, wherein the weight ratio of ceramic particles to cellulose is about 4;
1, said ceramic particles comprising piezoelectric material;
wet spinning said spin mix through a spinneret to form a stream; and
extracting the solvent of the solution of cellulose from said stream to form said filament of regenerated cellulose containing said ceramic particles. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
