Abstract

Cellulosic materials having a high capacity for absorption of water or aqus solutions, a large volume:weight ratio and a high resilience are produced by an acid-catalyzed cross-linking reaction in a reaction medium of low water content from a cellulosic or lignocellulosic material in the form of individual, substantially dehydrated, non-swollen and inter-fibre-bonds free fibres.
