Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a cushioning material P includes a defibrating step of defibrating a cloth to produce fibers F in dry forming, a mixing step of mixing the fibers F with a bonding agent to produce a mixture, an accumulation step of accumulating the mixture in air to produce a web W, and a first forming step of pressurizing and heating the web W to form the web W.
Abstract:
A method of producing an electrically conductive textile element that includes the steps of modifying a surface of a textile element with a negatively-charged polyelectrolyte; and coating the modified surface of the textile element with metal particles.
Abstract:
A solution for forming a graft substrate containing a graft initiator, a catalyst for activating the graft initiator, a polymerizable silicon softener, and at least one additional prepolymer, each of the softener and the prepolymer which includes a functional group for reaction with an activated site on the substrate for grafting thereto and water. The treated fiber exhibits excellent crockfastness, color fastness, and abrasion resistance, strength, and has a soft hand.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to superabsorbent cellulose fiber including cellulose and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer. The invention also relates to a method of producing the superabsorbent fiber, and absorbent articles including the superabsorbent fiber.

Abstract:
Cellulose or acrylonitrile fiber having methacrylic acid or hydroxyalkyl methacrylate graft-copolymerized in an amount of 3-60% by weight is disclosed. The graft fiber is produced by reacting methacrylic acid or a hydroxyalkyl methacrylate with cellulose or acrylonitrile fiber in an aqueous medium containing hydrogen peroxide and a ferrous salt.
Abstract:
Permanently stain resistant nylon and cellulosic fibers, and a method to impart permanent stain resistance to polyamide or cellulosic fibers, by covalently binding a stain resistant composition to a linking compound that has been covalently attached to the fiber are disclosed. This invention represents a significant advance in the art of textile treatments in that the covalently linked stain resist treatment is not removed after a series of alkaline shampooings. This invention is particularly useful in the preparation of commercial grade carpets for heavy traffic areas that will not lose their stain resistance after frequent shampooing.
Abstract:
A water repellant fabric and a process to produce that fabric is provided. The process comprises; providing a fabric substrate having sites reactive with polymeric functional groups; contacting the fabric substrate with a functional group containing polymer; removing unreacted functional group containing polymer; and recovering a water repellent fabric. The appearance, stiffness and texture of the treated fabric is similar to the untreated fabric and the hand of the treated fabric is excellent.
Abstract:
Aqueous solution of alkali or ammonium acrylate is applied to a prefabricated fibrous substrate, and the acrylate is subjected to polymerization in two steps, namely the first step in which the acrylate is polymerized by means of a radical polymerization initiator and the second step which is subsequent to the first step and in which the unpolymerized acrylate is polymerized by means of heat treatment at 100.degree.-250.degree. C.
Abstract:
Cationic cellulose graft copolymers obtained by the graft polymerization of a cellulose substrate and a cationic monomer are useful as textile treatment agents, especially as dye enchancers. As pretreatment agents, they improve dye yield, dye levelness and dye fastness properties and as after-treatment agents, they improve dye fastness and crock resistance properties.
