Abstract
The present invention relates to microfibrous cellulose capable of exhibiting an excellent dispersibility stability and an excellent coating suitability when added to paint. To this end, the present invention provides fibrous cellulose having a fiber width of 1,000 nm or less and containing an ionic substituent. An amount of the ionic substituent in the fibrous cellulose is 0.10 mmol/g or more and 1.50 mmol/g or less. A polymerization degree of the fibrous cellulose is 150 or more and 515 or less. When the fibrous cellulose is dispersed in a dispersion solvent containing water and isopropanol to obtain a dispersion fluid having a 7:3 mass ratio of water and isopropanol and a viscosity of 2,500 mPa·s at 23° C., and the dispersion fluid is stirred under predetermined stirring conditions, a viscosity change rate falls within ±50% as calculated by the following formula:viscosity change rate (%)=(viscosity after stirring−viscosity before stirring)/viscosity before stirring×100 .
