Textiles intercalated with shear thickening fluids (STF) are disclosed. The STF-intercalated textiles are light weight and include high tenacity textiles that exhibit enhanced resistance to puncture, cutting, abrasion, dust penetration, and projectile penetration. Also disclosed are multi-layer articles, such as safety suits and extra-vehicular mobility units, which include STF-intercalated textiles. Methods for manufacturing STF-intercalated textiles are also disclosed.

A fabric printable medium includes a fabric base substrate, which includes yarn strands and voids among the yarn strands. The fabric printable medium further includes a finishing coating attached to the yarn strands of the fabric base substrate to form coated yarn strands. The finishing coating includes a first and a second crosslinked polymeric network. The fabric printable medium has pore spaces among the coated yarn strands that coincide with at least some of the voids of the fabric base substrate.

The invention provides fabrics that incorporate enzymes that inactivate microbial pathogens, particularly enveloped viral particles such as those of Influenza virus and Coronavirus such as Covid-19. The fabrics of the invention may be used in the production of various items including protective facemasks.

Provided are materials that include one or more cycloaliphatic polyamides integrated into or coated onto one or more structural fibers such as polyethylene fibers, aramid-fibers, glass fibers or carbon fibers. The resulting materials may be incorporated into composite articles suitable for use as protective equipment or structural layers.

A dustproof fabric which includes an antistatic dustproof fabric having excellent antistatic properties, a high air permeability and high-level dustproof properties is provided. The antistatic dustproof fabric includes two or more fiber layers. At least one of the two or more fiber layers is a fiber layer 1 containing an antistatic agent. The polarity of the antistatic agent is opposite to the polarity of the zeta potential of the fiber layer 1. At least one of the two or more fiber layers is a fiber layer 2 which is electrically charged.

A method for manufacturing a ceramic-coated antibacterial fabric includes adding and mixing a ceramic component, calcium carbonate, a binder, and a dispersant into water, thereby to prepare a ceramic solution; heating the ceramic solution to 110 to 130 C., then immersing a fabric in the heated ceramic solution for 100 to 200 minutes, and then drying the fabric for 100 to 150 minutes at a temperature of 50 to 70 C., thereby to form a first coated ceramic layer on the fabric; and subsequently, heating the ceramic solution to 70 to 90 C., then immersing the fabric having the first coated ceramic layer thereon in the heated ceramic solution for 100 to 200 minutes, and then drying the fabric for 100 to 150 minutes at a temperature of 50 to 70 C., thereby to form a second coated ceramic layer on the first coated ceramic layer on the fabric.
