Methods of making polycationic nanofibers by grafting cationic polymers onto electrospun neutral nanofibers and polycationic nanofibers produced by the methods are provided herein. In addition, methods of using the polycationic nanofibers to reduce inflammation, to adsorb anionic compounds such as heparin or nucleic acids, to inhibit the growth of microbes or inhibit the formation of a biofilm are also provided. The polycationic nanofibers may be in a mesh and may be included in a medical device, wound dressing, bandage, or as part of a graft.

Hydrophilic amino-organopolysiloxane softener compositions are prepared by reacting a hydrogen siloxane, a mixture of an allyl epoxy and optionally an allyl polyether in presence of catalyst comprising platinum and then reacting the epoxy functional siloxane product with a polyetheramine to obtain an amino-organopolysiloxane. The hydrophilic amino-organopolysiloxane softener composition is preferably used in the form of an emulsion. Textile fabrics treated by the inventive composition have strong hydrophilic performance and enhanced smoothness and feel.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a needle punch carpet having a velour-type and more wear-resistant surface which has advantageous characteristics over conventional flat needle nonwovens and dilour carpets.

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 permeable microcapsule embedded fabric acts as a sorbent that creates mold-able, variable geometry fabrics for static or dynamic use. The fabric is composed of micro encapsulated solvent spheres held together by structural members. The fabric provides an excellent means to absorb and separate gases and/or liquids, particularly to separate carbon dioxide from flue gases.

A process for improving weavability of a yarn is described. The process has a step of application of a chitosan-containing reinforcement product and a later chitosan crosslinking step.

An aspect of the present invention is an anisotropic thermal conductive resin fiber including a stretch fiber of a thermoplastic resin; and a thermal insulation material covering the stretch fiber.
