Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication de fibres polymères et en particulier de nanofibres et de mésofibres par un procédé d'électrofilage dans lequel une dispersion colloïdale d'au moins un polymère sensiblement insoluble dans l'eau et d'au moins un agent tensio-actif non ionique et qui contient éventuellement en supplément au moins un polymère soluble dans l'eau est électrofilée dans un fluide aqueux. La présente invention concerne en outre les fibres que l'on peut obtenir avec ce procédé.
