Abstract:
An imitating natural plant fiber, preparation method thereof and the fabric made of it are provided. The preparation method includes the following steps: rolling and milling the mixture of plural first polyolefine chips, constant thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and plural microcapsules which encapsulate essential oil extracted from natural plant in the twin-screw extruder, thus plural masterbatches can be made; melting and mixing the above masterbatches and plural second polyolefine which is same as the first one, thus a composite can be made, wherein the final content of the microcapsules is 1-32% by weight; and producing fibers by spinning, cooling, heat stretching, and heat setting. The fiber and the fabric made of it have durable natural plant aroma.
Abstract:
There are disclosed fire resistant threads and fabrics comprising an intimate blend of natural and synthetic fibers. In embodiments the blends may comprise between 50% and about 98% of the natural fibers. The fabrics disclosed may further comprise conductive and/or strengthening filaments which may be disposed on one side of the fabric. The fabrics may have a reduced surface resistance and may be formed into garments. Methods for making the threads and fabrics are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Textiles are provided that include fibrous cellulosic materials having an α-cellulose content of less than about 93%, the fibrous materials being spun, woven, knitted, or entangled. The fibrous cellulosic materials can be irradiated with a dose of ionizing radiation that is sufficient to increase the molecular weight of the cellulosic materials without causing significant depolymerization of the cellulosic materials. Methods of treating textiles that include irradiating the textiles are also provided.
Abstract:
A composite bast fiber and cotton yarn is formed by blending natural bast fibers with cotton fibers which have been regenerated from waste cotton material such as trimmings and cuttings from the apparel manufacturing industry. The regenerated cotton and bast fibers are cleaned and blended, then carded to align the fibers into strands. Depending on the size and texture of the desired yarn, the fibers are stretched and drawn into slivers prior to spinning to join the fibers together. The natural bast fibers are up to two and one half to three time longer than the regenerated cotton fibers, so that the natural bast fibers overlap and braid onto the regenerated cotton fibers during spinning. The resultant yarn is stronger and more absorbent than yarns made solely out of regenerated cotton fibers, a blend of regenerated cotton and acrylic fibers, or regenerated cotton and polyester fibers currently available.
Abstract:
Novel woven materials, producible by a new weaving method, are described that comprise single or doubled warps and wefts in the form of tapes that are preferably partially stabilized type of fibrous tape. These fibres are caused to occur in a non-linear arrangement during the weaving process. The non-linear fibres can be subsequently straightened by pulling the tape longitudinally. The doubled warps and wefts comprise disconnected tapes. Such separateness of constituent tapes of doubled warp and weft tapes enables them to be slid/slipped relative to each other by pulling longitudinally and laterally without causing any alteration in the woven structure. These novel fabrics solve the problem of uneven fibre distribution and orientation arising from crumples/wrinkles due to compression and stretches due to extension, at the inner and outer sides respectively, when tape-woven fabrics are curved into shapes. Further, by using doubled warps and wefts fabrics with relatively flat/planar sections and thicker/raised wide rib sections can be also created that resemble a bit like a profiled material in its cross-section. Other fabrics like those comprising slant/oblique weft tapes, shaped warp and weft tapes, formed shape within its body are also producible.
Abstract:
A novel method of weaving is described wherein warp and weft are supplied in the form of tapes, and not yarns. In at least one embodiment, the method, which is preferably carried out in vertical format, essentially includes feeding positively flat tensionless warp for shedding and taking-up; selecting, feeding positively and inserting weft tapes of different widths and thickness by gripping in its fore end in flat condition; depositing inserted weft at fabric-fell in a flat condition without beating-up; and taking-up the woven material that comprises either same or different widths of flat wefts. The warps and wefts, preferably of partially stabilized type of fibrous tapes, can be overfed in a tensionless, positive and controlled manner when required to make the fibres of constituent fibrous tapes occur non-linearly in the form of wave/texture during weaving. Extra warps and wefts can be also fed in tandem whereby the warps and wefts become composed of two or more unconnected, mutually slipping, flat tapes in a stacked arrangement. These doubled warps and wefts function effectively as a unit warp and weft during weaving and in the fabric. In at least one embodiment, the method also makes possible to produce other materials such as those with slant weft tapes in relation to warp, having a shape within the body of the fabric and warp and weft tapes of shaped edges. A variety of fibrous and non-fibrous materials are equally well processed.
Abstract:
A tent fabric comprising a woven fabric made of yarns containing kenaf fibers in an amount of 10 wt. % or more. The tent fabric after use can easily be recycled and hence contributes to resource saving and environmental protection.
Abstract:
A composite fabric formed of a double cloth of jersey knit material which is needled to produce internal connections of filaments and/or fibers from yarns extending into, and/or between, the yarns of an adjacent layer.
Abstract:
A substrate in the form of a fabric for seat coverings contains a higher portion of natural fibers than that of synthetic fibers. The substrate includes a mixed yarn produced of natural fibers formed by wool fibers and/or ramie fibers. The substrate further contains from 15 to 30% by weight of synthetic fibers, preferably polyester fibers.
Abstract:
A fabric comprising warp and woof (weft) has dense and strong boron fibers and boron-compound fibers constituting the weft and utilizes an open warp having a supportive function for the boron weft thereby obtaining high strength in the weft direction.
