Disclosed are fibers which contain identification fibers. The identification fibers can comprise one or more chemical markers, or taggants, which may vary among the fibers or be incorporated throughout all of the fibers. The disclosure also relates to the method for making and characterizing the fibers. Characterization of the fibers can include identifying chemical markers and correlating the chemical markers and a taggant chemical marker amounts of at least one of the chemical markers to manufacturer-specific taggants to determine supply chain information. The supply chain information can be used to track the fibers from manufacturing through intermediaries, conversion to final product, and/or the consumer.

A liquid-crystal polyether fiber with high tensile strength has an ash content of 0.3 percent by weight or less, a degree of fusion (f) of 3 or less, and a tensile strength of 18 cN/dtex or more. The liquid-crystal polyether fiber has few residues of an anti-fusion agent and causes no fusion between filaments.

The object of the invention is a composition for impregnating other materials, rendering them able to shield alternating electromagnetic fields in the range from low frequencies up to radio frequencies, containing an aqueous solution of salt that may form hydrates or a combination of salts, of which at least one forms a hydrate, characterised in that it contains an acrylic and/or styrene-acrylic dispersion and/or silicone emulsion and/or enhancing additives selected from a group containing surfactants and/or aluminosilicates and silicates and/or soluble and insoluble calcium compounds, metal and metalloid oxides, while an alternating field is shielded at least in range from 10.sup.−2 Hz to 10.sup.6 Hz and its application for coating/impregnating fibrous and/or porous matrix and materials containing the thereof.

A method is provided for removing a volatile organic compound (VOC) contained in an artificial leather fabric and odor caused by the volatile organic compound by coating the artificial leather fabric with an adsorbent which reacts with a noxious substance containing the volatile organic compound (VOC); and immersing; washing; and drying the reacted artificial leather fabric. The method includes coating the adsorbent and immobilizing the volatile organic compound through a reaction, to prevent volatilization of the organic compound or reduce an amount thereof. Further, after the reaction between the artificial leather fabric and the adsorbent, the artificial leather fabric is washed, to remove the volatile organic compound immobilized on a surface of the fabric from the artificial leather.

Improvements applied to a textile product, and more particularly wherein the improved product is a woven textile product—fabric containing bioceramic microparticles embedded into the fibers thereof with high capacity of irradiation in the infrared region, provided to be used both in humans and animals, more particularly the invention is related to a textile product containing bioceramic microparticles with high capacity of infrared irradiation which, in contact with the heat of the human body, is capable of transmitting infrared radiation in the range between 3 μm and 14.8 μm, preferentially in the 14.8 micron range, said infrared radiation at this wavelength being capable of regulating the blood microcirculation, as the result of its high protection, the blood microcirculation being the nervous center of human and/or animal metabolism.

A flame resistant fabric for the use in the construction of aviation airbags comprises a polyester fiber substrate which is treated with a first flame retardant. A polyurethane coating is applied to the polyester fiber substrate, which has been treated with the first flame retardant, to impart high pressure permeability resistance to the flame resistant fabric. The polyurethane coating comprises a second flame retardant to insure that the flame resistant fabric complies with Federal Aviation Requirement 25.853. The flame resistant fabric further comprises sufficient high pressure permeability resistance which is measured as a pressure of not less than about 198 kPa after five seconds from an initial inflation and pressurization to about 200 kPa, such as may be encountered in and during an inflation of aviation airbag assemblies.

A method and product for creating a customizable fabric for specific end-use composites is provided. This method includes creating a three-dimensional matrix on woven fabrics, such as glass or carbon fiber fabrics via the addition of nanoparticles and a coupling agent; and, attaching a functional group compatible to specific resins dependent upon end use. The resulting product is a resin-free fabric with specific functional groups attached, ready to receive a particular polymer resin. Alternatively, the process may continue through to the addition of a polymer resin, resulting in a completed composite product.
