ない均質な極細繊維布帛が得られる。In the present invention, when the pressure is uniformly applied to the entire surface of the cloth by using, for example, a calender roll, all the composite fibers constituting the cloth are melted and cracked. A homogeneous ultrafine fiber fabric is obtained in which no undivided fibers remain.

て極細繊維になるものと推定される。Although the mechanism of manifestation of such a phenomenon has not been sufficiently clarified, a crack is formed at the bonding interface of the polymer constituting the composite fiber by applying pressure, and the polymer is dissolved in the solvent of the polymer. At times, it is estimated that the weight loss preferentially progresses from the cracks and the composite fibers are easily cracked to become ultrafine fibers.
