摘要:
A method for treating a fabric for protection from ultraviolet radiation is disclosed which comprises the steps of dispensing a suspension of zinc oxide particles treated with an acid polymer into a washing machine during a time in which a fabric is being washed in the washing machine and mixing the treated zinc oxide particles and the fabric for the treated zinc oxide particles to bind to the fabric. Other methods for treating a fabric for protection from ultraviolet radiation are also disclosed.

A method for treating a fabric for ultraviolet radiation protection is disclosed which comprises the steps of adding zinc oxide nanoparticles to a solution of 3-glycidyloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane, adding silicon dioxide to the mixture of zinc oxide nanoparticles and 3-glycidyloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane, placing a fabric in the mixture of zinc oxide nanoparticles, 3-glycidyloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane, and silicon dioxide, curing the fabric, and washing the fabric.
摘要:
The disclosure features a fabric comprising polymer fibers and an antimicrobial system. The antimicrobial system comprises a sequestering agent and an agent binding the sequestering agent on surfaces of at least some of the polymer fibers. In some implementations, at least some of the sequestering agent remains on polymer fiber-surfaces after 50 cycles of laundering.
摘要:
A medical health care blanket or fabric, formed of micro-denier fibers, e.g., polyester or other suitable polymer, has at least one raised surface, and incorporates an antimicrobial system having durable antimicrobial properties after at least 50, 100, 150, or even up to 200 industrial laundering cycles. A method of contributing to a sanitary health care environment is also described.
摘要:
Described are compositions and methods relating to the treatment of keratinous fibers and textiles comprising such fibers with enzymatically-generated peracids in aqueous media. The treatment has beneficial effects, including reducing felting, increasing dye uptake, and reducing prickling tendency.
摘要:
This invention pertains to method for imparting a durable antimicrobial activity to substrates, particularly textiles. An acetate-free metal and peroxide antimicrobial treatment formulation is prepared by adjusting the pH of a mixture of a metal salt in aqueous hydrogen peroxide to about 7.5. The substrate is treated with the composition and dried to afford the treated substrate with antimicrobial activity. Zinc salts, ions, or complexes are preferred.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for producing a modified animal fiber, the method includes step 1 (31, 32) of pre-oxidizing a cystine bond (—S—S— bond) present in an epidermal cell of an animal fiber to bring the cystine bond into a low oxidation state, step 2 (33) of oxidizing with ozone the pre-oxidized —S—S— bond to bring the —S—S— bond into at least one high oxidation state selected from di-, tri-, and tetra-oxidation states, and step 3 (34) of reductively cleaving the —S—S— bond in a high oxidation state. The method imparts shrink resistance and pilling resistance to an animal fiber. In the step 2 (33) ozone is microdispersed in an aqueous solution comprising an anionic surfactant having a C8-24 alkyl group, and the animal fiber is contacted with the ozone. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for efficiently producing in a short period of time an animal fiber having excellent shrink resistance that barely undergoes felting when washed in an aqueous system in shrink proofing an animal fiber using ozone.
