An object of the present invention is to provide a technology of dispersing
cellulose readily in a hydrophobic substance such as a resin by treating
cellulose being a hydrophilic substance in a
system that contains water as a main medium with a
polymer dispersant, which has been developed for dispersing a fine and hydrophobic substance such as a
pigment, in a simple and efficient manner without conducting
surface modification of
nanocellulose or other treatments. The object is solved by a process for producing a readily dispersible
cellulose composition, the process including dissolving a
polymer dispersant having a block
copolymer structure having a resin-affinitive segment A and a cellulose-adsorptive segment B in a hydrophilic
organic solvent solution, adding a surface
active agent to the
resultant solution, thereafter adding water to the
resultant mixture to prepare an
aqueous dispersion treatment agent containing the
polymer dispersant, and adding the obtained
aqueous dispersion treatment agent to cellulose in a water-containing state or in a dry state, thereby obtaining a readily dispersible cellulose composition. The object is also solved by a process for producing an
aqueous dispersion treatment agent for use in the process for producing a readily dispersible cellulose composition, the readily dispersible cellulose composition, and a cellulose-dispersed resin composition using the readily dispersible cellulose composition.
