The present invention provides a process for modifying the surface of a polyvinyl alcohol film or fabric by applying heat and pressure to the film or fabric to increase the moisture on the surface which is held by the fabric and to coalesce the surface fibers and reduce the porosity of the surface.

A textile structure including one or more layers of warp yarns interwoven with one or more layers of weft yarns, a durable thermoregulating coating, and a binder that chemically bonds the durable thermoregulating coating to the textile structure. The warp yarns and/or weft yarns include polyester yarns. A method for manufacturing a textile structure includes weaving one or more layers of warp yarns with one or more layers or weft yarns to form a woven textile structure, brushing the textile structure at least two times, applying a binder to the textile structure, and applying a durable thermoregulating coating to the textile structure such that the binder chemically bonds the durable thermoregulating coating to the textile structure. The method may also include heat setting and curing the textile structure to fix the durable thermoregulating coating permanently onto the textile structure.

A wash-durable mask is formed including a textile material, where the textile material is obtained by a process including a first process cycle. The first process cycle includes treating a starting textile material using an exhaust process, where the liquor includes one or more antimicrobial agents selected from a quaternary ammonium organosilane compound, polyglucosamine, polyhexamethylene biguanide, and propiconazole, and subjecting the treated textile to a curing at an ambient temperature of at least 150° C. and of at most 205° C.

A fiber sizing agent includes: a vinyl ester resin (A) having an alkoxy polyoxyalkylene structure and a urethane bond; and an aqueous medium. The fiber sizing agent has excellent fiber sizing properties for various fibers such as glass fibers and carbon fibers. A molded article obtained from a molding material including the fiber sizing agent is excellent in various physical properties such as bending strength, compressive strength, and interlaminar shear strength, and thus can be used, for example, for an automobile member, an aircraft member, a windmill member, and an industrial member.

Sutures including a surgical suture material and a conducting coating that has been applied to the surgical suture material are provided, wherein an electrical conductivity of the suture greater is than 500 S/cm per 1964 μm.sup.2 of cross-sectional area of the suture. In some instances, an electro-chemical impedance of the suture is less than 10 kOhms at 1 kHz per 1964 μm.sup.2 of cross-sectional area of the suture. In some instances, a diameter of the suture is 50-100 μm. In some instances, the conducting coating includes PEDOT:PSS. In some instances, the conducting coating further includes metal particles or metal flakes. In some instances, the suture further comprises: an insulating layer. In some instances, the insulating layer comprises at least one of Parylene-C, polyurethane, and a silicone elastomer. In some instances, the insulating layer was applied to the surgical suture material after the conducting coating was applied to the surgical suture material.

Disclosed is a knitted fabric containing natural fibers and a making method therefor, a liquid ammonia device and a shirt made from the knitted fabric, belonging to the fields of fabrics and clothing. The making method for the knitted fabric containing natural fibers comprises forming yarns containing natural fibers into a knitted fabric by a fabric-knitting method; and performing functional finishing including a liquid ammonia finishing procedure on the knitted fabric. In the liquid ammonia finishing procedure, liquid ammonia impregnation is performed on the knitted fabric at least twice under the condition of mechanical restraint by a guide roller set, thus preventing the knitted fabric from edge curling due to strong shrinkage in the liquid ammonia impregnation process, enabling the knitted fabric to be subjected to sufficient and uniform liquid ammonia impregnation, ensuring the liquid ammonia impregnation effect and controlling the shrinkage rate of the knitted fabric; and through subsequent shaping and finishing procedures, the color stability of the knitted fabric is further improved, the shrinkage rate after washing is reduced, and the crease-resistant performance and resilience performance are improved. The shirt has a low shrinkage rate after washing, good stiffness performance, good resilience performance, color stability, high strength and good crease-resistant performance.
