Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1612323A1] A method for modifying fibers comprises steps of adding a crosslinking agent and/or an aqueous resin emulsion to an alkali aqueous solution dissolving therein a cellulose ether having such a low degree of substitution that a molar degree of substitution with an alkyl group and/or a hydroxyalkyl group ranges 0.05 to 1.3, applying the resulting solution to fibers neutralizing the applied solution with an acid for coagulation, and thermally treating the fibers. Alternatively, the method comprises adding a crosslinking agent and/or an aqueous resin emulsion to an alkali aqueous solution dissolving therein a cellulose ether having such a low degree of substitution that a molar degree of substitution with an alkyl group and/or a hydroxyalkyl group ranges 0.05 to 1.3, applying the resulting solution to fibers, thermally treating the thus applied fibers, and applying an acid to the fibers to neutralize the alkali left on the fibers.
