Abstract:
Methods of treating fibers comprising a polymer including at least one of a vinyl acetate moiety or a vinyl alcohol moiety, and resulting fibers or the products comprising the resulting fibers are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a fiber having a surface region and an interior region, includes a polymer comprising at least one of a vinyl acetate moiety or a vinyl alcohol moiety chemically modified with a modification agent. The fiber has a transverse cross-section including the interior region comprising the polymer having a first degree of modification and the surface region comprising the polymer having a second degree of modification greater than the first degree of modification.
Abstract:
Textured fibrous structures, and more particularly textured fibrous structures having a plurality of deformations such that the textures fibrous structures exhibit novel surface height properties compared to known fibrous structures, and methods for making such textured fibrous structures.
Abstract:
Elasticized nonwoven laminates including high recovery power polyurethane elastic fiber, articles of manufacture with these elasticized nonwoven laminates and methods for production of the elasticized laminates and articles of manufacture are provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fibrous haemostat composition that is able to safely gradually and fully degrade in a human or animal body within about 30 days and so can be utilised by physicians to stem a flow of blood and promote healing both after as well as during surgical procedures.
Abstract:
A facial cleansing pad includes a body constructed from a pliant fabric and having opposed first and second surfaces. The first surface has a long pile knit finish, preferably an openwork finish, and the second surface has a warp knit finish. The long pile knit finish extends beyond the first surface, and the warp knit finish has no height with respect to the second surface.
Abstract:
Nonwoven materials having discrete three-dimensional deformations therein forming protrusions that extend outward from the first surface of the nonwoven material and wide base openings adjacent to the second surface of the nonwoven material are disclosed. The nonwoven materials include multiple fibers that extend from the base of the protrusions to the distal end of the protrusions, and contribute to form a portion of the sides and cap of a protrusion. Such fibers may at least substantially surround the sides of the protrusions.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing water-absorbing crosslinked polymer fibers, especially micro- or nanofibers, by spinning process, especially electrospinning process and to fibers obtainable by this process.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the manufacture of fibrous yarn including the steps, where an aqueous suspension including fibers and at least one rheology modifier is provided, followed by directing the suspension through at least one nozzle, to form at least one yarn, and then dewatering the yarn.
Abstract:
A ground fabric made of cotton and provided with loops of bamboo fiber is used to form a looped fabric. The ground fabric has a ground weave that is obtained by a technique with three weft sequences or by a technique with four weft sequences. The looped fabric has a weight between 200 and 1700 gram/m2. The number of warp threads per cm fabric is between 21 and 34, and the number of weft threads per cm fabric is between 10 and 28, and the number of loops per cm fabric is between 3 and 9. The looped fabric may be used as a terry.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a weft-knitted tubular spacer fabric for use in orthopaedic products comprising a first outer layer, a second outer layer, and an intermediate spacer layer integrated with said first and second outer layers, said tube having a length. According to invention the spacer fabric is knitted in a tubular form with a circumference less than 1000 mm, said tubular spacer fabric not being cut open in its length direction, thereby conforming seamlessly to a body part or limb of a wearer. Hereby, a tubular spacer fabric is obtained which most expediently conforms seamlessly to a body part or limb of a wearer. This has the advantage that the seamless tubular spacer fabric may be used directly as a wrap, a bandage, a support or may be used as liner under casting.
