A fiber-treating agent containing the following components (A) to (C): (A): one or more catechins selected from the group consisting of catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, gallocatechin, catechin gallate, epicatechin gallate, gallocatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate, (B): a salt, and (C): water. A method for treating fibers, including immersing the fibers in the fiber-treating agent.

Disclosed are a superhydrophilic surface body, a fabricating method thereof, and a filter for oil and water separation, including a superhydrophilic surface. The method for fabricating a superhydrophilic surface body includes a first step of forming a polyaniline nanofiber layer on a surface of a base material, a second step of changing the polyaniline nanofiber layer into a completely oxidized pernigraniline base state, a third step of forming a self-assembled monomolecular film having a polymer polymerization initiation functional group on a surface of the polyaniline nanofiber layer, and a fourth step of forming a silica layer on a surface of the self-assembled monomolecular film. In the third step, the polyaniline nanofiber layer is reduced to a leucoemeraldine state.

A synthetic fiber finish includes a lubricant (A), a polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester having at least one hydroxyl group per molecule (B), and an organic sulfonic acid compound (C). The lubricant (A) includes a sulfur-containing ester (A3). The amount of the lubricant (A) ranges from 50 to 90 wt %, the amount of the ester (B) ranges from 1 to 20 wt % and the amount of the sulfur-containing ester (A3) ranges from 5 to 20 wt %, to a nonvolatile component of the finish.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a base fabric for an airbag and an airbag wherein the strength of sewn parts is high, pressure resistance is superior for an airbag during high-pressure deployment at high speeds, and pressure resistance can be maintained even after passage of time in heat. This base fabric for an airbag is characterized by being formed from woven polyamide fibers, and the retention of sewn part strength in the base fabric with heating before and after heat treatment for 400 hours at 140 C. being 70% or greater.
