I saw several messages regarding this material and wanting to know more info such as whether it's an acronym or what. Did several different googles and came up with this link:
<http://216.239.57.100/search?q=cache:NEymgzUWExkC:chiwu.chem.cuhk.edu.hk/journals/others/chem-comm-23-2898.pdf+SAAP+synthetic+material&hl=en&ie=UTF-8>
WHEEEEEE! Haven't read anything like that since I retired. Gave me goose bumps all over. Not my area of chemistry. Give Mark Delaney a chance read it - that's right down his alley.
This reference gives the directions for making the bulk polymer (plastic) powder, not for making the SAAP fiber. Best to say that the SAAP is a synthetic polymer.
Surprisingly, though, the article does make sense.......kinda.
Gee I'm glad I retired!
