The present invention is in the field of washing and cleaning agents and relates to a fragranced shaped body, including a composition obtained by bringing the following components into contact: (a) at least one gelling agent having a molar mass of <2000 g/mol and (b) at least one fragrance. The invention also relates to a washing or cleaning agent, including the fragranced shaped body according to the invention, a method for producing the fragranced shaped body according to the invention and the use of the fragranced shaped body according to the invention for fragrancing surfaces.

Multi-functional electronic textiles employing nanocomposite pattern elements and related methods are provided. An exemplary method for producing a textile product with an integrated electrical device includes applying conductive nanowires to a substrate to form a conductive nanowire network on the substrate and applying a thermoplastic elastomer to the nanowire network to form a nanocomposite layer on top of the substrate. The method also includes cutting the nanocomposite layer into a desired pattern to form an electrical device and transferring the electrical device from the substrate onto a textile fabric.

A processing method of a base material sheet includes winding out the base material sheet wound up by a first core and a first porous sheet wound up by a second core, winding up by a third core the base material sheet and the first porous sheet to be overlapped with each other, and processing the base material sheet by a first processing liquid held in the first porous sheet; and winding out the base material sheet and the first porous sheet overlappingly wound up by the third core, winding up the first porous sheet by the second core, and winding up the base material sheet by the first core.

A method and apparatus fabricate synthetic hair by mixing a raw material to form a mixed material; sterilizing the mixed material to form a sterilized material; melting the sterilized material to form a melted material; yarning the melted material to form a yarn material; sterilizing the yarn material to form an intermediate sterilized yarn; heating the sterilized yarn to form a heated yarn; and sterilizing the heated yarn to form a final sterilized yarn. Sterilizing of the mixed material, the yarn material, and/or the heated yarn includes: sterilizing using an ultraviolet (UV) lamp. Heating of the sterilized yarn is performed by a heating device selected from a heated roller, a heating plate, a steam jet device, and a hot water reservoir. Alternatively, sterilizing of the heated yarn includes: immersing the heated yarn into an immersion device, which includes an antibacterial solution. The final sterilized yarn forms a synthetic hair.

A dryer sheet can be configured to be 100% organic and anti-bacterial. The dryer sheet can have one or more layers of pure hemp material that is woven into a configuration that allows for four or more uses without shredding or otherwise having degraded cleaning of laundry being dried. One or more scents and essential oils may be incorporated into the dryer sheet to impart a predetermined aroma into the laundry being dried.
