PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a modified cloth that can retain a texture (bending resistance) while efficiently modifying a cloth.SOLUTION: A method for producing a modified cloth in which a cloth containing a polymer A with a melting point and/or glass transition temperature of 50°C or more and 400°C or less is modified, the polymer A being selected from an olefinic polymer, polyester polymer and polyimide polymer, has a step 1 in which a radical containing an atom (α) of an element selected from a group 15 element and a group 16 element and an atom (β) of a group 17 element in one molecule, at a ratio of the number of atoms (α): the number of atoms (β)=1:1-4:1, is irradiated with light.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】製布を効率よく変性しながらも、風合い(剛軟性)を保持できる変性製布を提供すること。【解決手段】1分子中に、15族元素および16族元素から選ばれる元素の原子(α)と17族元素の原子(β)とを、原子(α)の数:原子(β)の数=1:1~4:1の比で含むラジカルの存在下に光照射する工程1を含む、オレフィン系重合体、ポリエステル系重合体およびポリイミド系重合体から選ばれる、融点および/またはガラス転移温度が50℃以上400℃以下である重合体Aを含む製布を変性した変性製布の製造方法。【選択図】なし
