Abstract: A viscous polymer is passed through a filament or thread forming apparatus and introduced into a flowing solvent. The polymer containing solvent is then passed through a random flow path apparatus where the polymer is broken into fine particles and the solvent and polymer are thoroughly blended. The polymer and solvent leaving the random flow path apparatus may be introduced into a holding apparatus wherein the polymer and solvent are retained until the polymer has gelled.
