1. A method of preparing dispersible fiber bundles comprising contacting a rheology-modifying binder with at least two or more fibers to form a binder-fiber mixture, and imparting force to the binder-fiber mixture to compact the binder-fiber mixture into a fiber bundle, wherein the rheology-modifying binder is selected from at least one guar, at least one derivatized guar, at least one modified cellulose, at least one acrylate, at least one viscoelastic surfactant, or any combination thereof.
