Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention pertains to a novel solution composition useful for preparing fibers from poly(α(1→3) glucan). The fibers prepared according to the invention, have “cotton-like” properties, are useful in textile applications, and can be produced as continuous filaments on a year-round basis. The solution comprises a 5-20% solids concentration of poly(α(1→3) glucan) in an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide, in particular NaOH at concentration of 2 to 10 weight-%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A solution comprising aqueous alkali metal hydroxide and poly(α(1→3) glucan) wherein the solids concentration of poly(α(1→3) glucan) is in the range of 5-20% by weight with respect to the total weight of the solution; and, wherein the concentration of the aqueous alkali metal hydroxide is in the range of 2 to 10%. 2. The solution of claim 1 wherein the alkali metal hydroxide is NaOH. 3. The solution of claim 2…
