Continuous process for the preparation of absorbable monofilament fibers of homopolymers and random copolymers and the use thereof

摘要

A process for the preparation of absorbable homopolymers or random copolymers and their processing into monofilament fibers is disclosed. The process comprises a reactive extrusion step where a cyclic monomer or a mixture of cyclic monomers and other additives are polymerized to form absorbable homopolymer or copolymer compositions, which are then extruded continuously and spun into monofilament fibers using regular fiber spinning and drawing techniques.
