Abstract
A fiber or filament of a swellable polymer of high tensile strength is made by spinning a polymeric raw material which is produced by agitating a suspension of solid particles of an acrylonitrile polymer in dilute sulfuric acid having an acid concentration between 40 to 50 percent by weight until the polymer is hydrolyzed to an extent that it contains from 10 to 30 percent by weight of carboxyl groups such that sticking of individual particles of the polymer to one another is avoided.
