Fibers comprising a first thermoplastic composition having a softening temperature 120°C and a curable resin. Also disclosed are compositions comprising a plurality of fibers, with some of the fibers comprising a first thermoplastic composition having a softening temperature up to 120°C and some of the fibers comprising a curable resin. The fibers have an aspect ratio of at least 10:1 and a maximum cross-sectional dimension up to 60 micrometers. Fluid compositions containing the fibers and a method of treating a subterranean formation using the fibers are also disclosed. Волокна, содержащие первую термопластичную композицию, температура размягчения которой составляет 120°C, и отверждаемую смолу. Также обнаружены композиции, содержащие совокупность волокон; некоторые волокна состоят из первой термопластичной композиции, температура размягчения которой составляет до 120°C, и некоторые волокна, состоящие из отверждаемой смолы. Аспектное соотношение волокна составляет как минимум 10:1, а максимальный поперечный размер составляет до 60 мкм. Также описаны композиции, содержащие волокна, и способ обработки подземной формации с использованием волокон.
