PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A FIBROUS PRODUCT

摘要

The present invention concerns a process for modifying a lignocellulosic fib re material. In particular, the present invention gives new properties to the fibrous matrix of the material. This is achieved by producing fibrous produc ts with modified properties by activating the fibres of the matrix with an oxidizing agent and attaching compounds to the activated fibre in order to incorporate desired, pre-selected properties into the fibre matrix. The invention makes possible to produce novel kinds of fibrous materials having practically a large variety of properties. Examples of such properties inclu de hydrophobic hydrophilic character.
