Disclosed are textile fibers, yarns, and fabrics having improved comfort and water and odor adsorption properties, and methods of manufacturing same. The improved textiles have an increased distribution of adsorbing particles distributed at the surface of the fibers and yarns to enable greater overall surface area for adsorbance.

A detectable scouring pad is provided that is made with a sparse unwoven base polymer that defines the pad shape, an overcoating of cured thermoset resin loaded with a particulate on the base polymer, the particulate present in an amount to render the polymer detectable by X-ray detection or magnetometer detection. A process of detecting a scouring pad includes forming a fiber composed of a base polymer having a cross-section and a length, and distributing a particulate on the thermoplastic polymer in a thermoset resin matrix. The process further includes forming a sparse unwoven thermoplastic polymer from the fiber, and manufacturing the scouring pad from the sparse unwoven polymer by overcoating the base polymer with a particulate loaded thermoset resin. The scouring pad is passed through an X-ray detector or a magnetometer detector, and a signal is collected from the detector indicative of the presence of the scouring pad.

A resin composition includes a base resin containing a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer, a monomer, and a photopolymerization initiator, and surface-modified inorganic oxide particles having an alkyl group having 1 or more and 8 or less carbon atoms or a phenyl group, wherein the content of the surface-modified inorganic oxide particles is 1% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less based on the total amount of the resin composition and the amount of surface modification on the surface-modified inorganic oxide particles is 0.15 mg/m.sup.2 or more.

The present invention relates to a patterned fiber substrate comprising: a fiber substrate; and a pattern consisting of a functional material and formed on the fiber substrate, wherein at least a part of the functional material that constitutes the pattern is present in inside of the fiber substrate, the fiber substrate has a contact angle of 100 to 170 with pure water on its surface, and the pattern has a narrowest line width of 1 to 3000 m.

A fibrous web comprising multiple fibers, wherein the fibrous web has a major web surface; wherein the fibers near the major web surface comprise an outer surface; wherein the outer surface of the fibers compromises a recrystallized skin layer; wherein the recrystallized skin layer has a plurality of textures; and wherein at least another part of the outer surface is smooth.

A method for producing and/or processing a nonwoven glass fabric web includes thermally drying the nonwoven glass fabric web via infrared radiation from an infrared radiation dryer. A specific power density of at least 153 kW/m.sup.2 is applied by the infrared radiation dryer to the surface of the nonwoven glass fabric web facing toward the infrared radiation dryer. After the irradiation by the infrared radiation dryer, the nonwoven glass fabric web has a temperature of at least 40 C. and at most 105 C. on its surface facing toward the infrared radiation dryer.

A molding method is performed for molding a composite material in which resin is injected in a state in which a fiber base material is disposed in a cavity formed in a metal mold and the resin is cured to form the composite material. The molding method includes enhancing wettability of a portion of the fiber base material, and disposing the portion of the fiber base material in a narrow portion in which a gap constituting the cavity is smaller than other locations.

The invention relates to methods of depositing silver onto a substrate using a dilute silver salt solution.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a high tenacity yarn and a high tenacity yarn manufactured thereby. More particularly, the present invention relates to: a method of manufacturing a high tenacity yarn, the method including coating a yarn made of at least one of nylon and polyester to obtain a coated yarn, wherein the coating material contains 3 to 35 parts by weight of a reinforcing agent composed of a mineral material per 100 parts by weight of a coating liquid containing polyurethane; and a high tenacity yarn manufactured thereby. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a yarn having high tenacity and improved processability by processing a nylon or polyester yarn having a relatively low tenacity as compared with a high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) yarn by use of a yarn coating technique, and further to reduce production cost.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a microfibrous non-woven synthetic suede-like fabric, which does not require the use of organic solvents and which enables a soft finished product to be obtained that is provided with a good hand, that is elastic and with excellent resistance to yellowing and high durability.
