title: Influence of coagulating bath composition on the texture of fibres spun from blood plasma.
abstract: The effect of the composition of the coagulating bath on the formation of spun fibres from blood plasma protein has been investigated. The texture of these fibres is affected by the concentration of the coagulants, especially at low levels. The fibre retained an amount of sodium chloride, proportional to the salt level in the bath, which could be washed free from the fibre without redissolution. As a result a satisfactory level of ash in the textured product could be obtained.
