Conclusions Treatment of organic fibres with microorganisms makes it possible to change the surface microrelief without reducing fibre strength. The action of the microorganisms is selective: its intensity depends both on the nature of the fibre and also on the variety of microbe. As a result of the life-activity of the microorganisms, the following occur as a rule; smoothing out of coarse projections and filling in of depressions on the fibre surface, while the number of fine (0.1–0.3 µm) structural elements increases significantly. Simultaneously smooth excrescences of size up to a few micrometers appear. Modification of the surface of fibres using microorganisms leads to an improvement in their wetting with melts of polymeric binders, and also to an increase in adhesion at the interface in organoplastics.
