Abstract
We have studied the mechanism for flocculation of fibrous suspensions by a polyethylene oxide - activator polymer complex. We have establish ed that flocculation is accomplished by fibrillar formations of the po lymer complex. The supermolecular network formed in the suspension ful fills the role of a three-dimensional filter for kinetic particles of the suspension, without trapping the colloidal substances, which is de termined by its geometric parameters.
