- R6 and R7 which are identical or different, represent hydrogen or a C1 -C14 group or radical.
- R6 and R7 are individually selected from an alkyl group, alkenyl group or phenyl radical.
- "n" is an integer of 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1 1 or 12.

- Hydrophobic polymer bundles were suspended in a green ecofriendly solvent such as Rhodiasolv IRIS, RPDE, Augeo, DIB etc. This slurry of hydrophobic polymer bundles converts the delivery system into a liquid form that can easily be pumped and metered into tanks. This also removes the hazard associated with the handling of fibers while improving transportation/storage profile.
- Example 2 Hydrophobic polymer Fiber Bundles: Hydrophobic polymer staple fibers were compacted with native guar (Higum 1 122) as binder. 15 g of a viscous Higum 1 122 solution at a concentration of 1 % w/w was added to 5g of hydrophobic polymer staple fibers. The two were mixed together into a paste. The paste was then rolled into spherical bundles (10-12 mm) in diameter. These bundles were then dried in a convection oven at 65°C overnight.
- native guar Higum 1 122
- 15 g of a viscous Higum 1 122 solution at a concentration of 1 % w/w was added to 5g of hydrophobic polymer staple fibers. The two were mixed together into a paste. The paste was then rolled into spherical bundles (10-12 mm) in diameter. These bundles were then dried in a convection oven at 65°C overnight.
- Example 3 Increasing hydrophobic polymer fiber bundle density: The density of the fiber bundles and the size can be further reduced and optimized as shown in FIGS. 4(a)-4(d).
- FIG. 4(a) shows a paste polymer with 1 % binder solution, dryed at 65°C overnight.
- FIG. 4(b) shows a dry polymer fiber and binder polymer (10%) mixed with a paste with 1 % binder solution, dryed at 65°C overnight.
- FIG. 4(c) shows a dry polymer fiber and binder polymer (10%) mixed with a paste with 1 % binder solution, rolled into cylinders, dryed at 65°C overnight.
- FIG. 4(d) shows a dry polymer fiber and binder polymer (10%) mixed with a paste with 1 % binder solution, rolled into cylinders, dryed at 65°C overnight, which are cut into pieces having staple lengths of about 6-8 mm.
- the hydrophobic polymer fibers bundles as described in Example 2 are shown in FIG. 4(a).
- dry guar powder and hydrophobic polymer fibers were mixed and then 1 % solution of guar was added to yield a more viscous paste and adhesive binder content.
- the hydrophobic polymer fibers could now be rolled into a more compact sphere, as illustrated in FIG. 4(b).
- Example 4 Hydrophobic polymer Bundles in Solvent Suspensions, hydrophobic polymer bundles were then suspended in solvents screened in Example 1 . A pregel of clay in solvent was prepared to provide viscosity and suspending properties to the solvent. Several clays were screened and
- Benathix ® from Elementis was found to be the most effective for the solvents as described herein.
- the clay concentration was 4% (as shown in FIG. 5(a)), and 2% (as shown in FIGS. 5(b), 5(c)).
- the higher density cylinders as shown in FIG. 5(b) can be packed at higher concentrations w/w into the solvent-clay medium.
- This suspension can flow as shown in FIG. 5(c) in contrast with the fibers alone as shown in FIG. 1 .
- This suspension can be hydrated in water.
