1. A controlled degradation fiber comprising:
(a) at least one first material, and (b) at least one second material, wherein the first and second materials are selected such that the fiber has a weight loss of greater than 6 wt. % and less than 60 wt. % based on the total weight of the fiber after one week at 130° C. in the presence of water, wherein the first material is selected from cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate esters, nylon 6,10, nylon 6,12, polyamide 6,6, polyamide 6, and polycarbonate, wherein the second material is selected from oligomeric co-polymers of lactic and glycolic acids, amine terminated polypropylene glycol, polylactic acid, and combinations thereof, and wherein the first material comprises greater than or equal to 50 wt. % of the total weight of the fiber and less than or equal to 99 wt. % of the total weight of the fiber. |
