Abstract
An apparatus includes a first belt having an external surface, a second belt having an external surface opposite the external surface of the first belt, and a region in which the first belt and the second belt come in contact, a first material dispenser and a second material dispenser to dispense a first material and a second material on the external surface at least one of the first and second belts, and a power source to cause at least one of the first and second belts to move to cause the external surfaces of the first and second belts to contact and then diverge away from each other so that at least one of the first and second materials forms filaments that break up as the belts continue to diverge.
