Method for modifying fibers

摘要

A method for modifying fibers is provided, which method comprises dispersing in water or a dilute alkali aqueous solution under shear a cellulose ether having such a low degree of substitution that a molar degree of substitution with an alkyl group and/or a hydoxyalkyl group ranges from 0.05 to 1.3, applying the resulting dispersion to fibers, and drying the applied fibers.
