Versatile Thin Polymer Fibers Produced by a Cotton-Candy Melt-Spinning Method: Examples of Dye Doping and Microplastic Generation

Abstract We report a method for producing thin plastic fibers (TPFs) in a few minutes using an inexpensive cotton-candy machine. Commercially available plastics (PP, PMMA, PETG, and PLA) were used to evaluate the versatility of this simple technique. Thin fibers are generated sta...
