Patent ID: 7297739

Claim:
A method of incorporating a micropulp in a polymer precursor for making a polymer that is a solid at room temperature, comprising: contacting organic fiber, a polymer precursor and a solid component selected from the group consisting of glass, alumina, zirconium oxide, zirconium silicate, cerium-stabilized zirconium oxide, fused zirconia silica, steel, stainless steel, sand, tungsten carbide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, agate, mullite, flint, vitrified silica, borane nitrate, ceramics, chrome steel, carbon steel, cast stainless steel, plastic resin, or combinations thereof, agitating the organic fiber, the polymer precursor, and the solid component to transform the organic fiber into a micropulp having a volume average length of from 0.01 to 50 micrometers dispersed in the polymer precursor, and optionally removing the solid component.
