Coated articles include a substrate and a periodic mesoporous organosilica layer adhered to a surface of the substrate. The coated articles may further include a secondary silane layer covalently attached the periodic mesoporous organosilica layer. Depending on the compositions of the layers, the combination of the periodic mesoporous organosilica layer and the secondary silane layer renders the surface of the substrate superhydrophobic or omniphobic. Methods for coating a surface of a substrate include contacting the surface with a mixture of a hydrolyzed organosilane and a poloxamer and curing the mixture on the surface to form a PMO-coated substrate. The methods may further include contacting the PMO-coated article with a secondary silane coating solution of one or more silanes, then curing the secondary silane coating solution to form a dual-coated article comprising a secondary alkylsilane layer covalently attached to the periodic mesoporous organosilica layer on the surface of the substrate.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of a fiber-reinforced composite material with a polyamide matrix.

The present invention is directed to a system and method for creating different bio-based, natural composite textile materials. In the system and method described herein, a non-woven fabric is used as a backing material upon which the bio-based, natural composite materials are applied in one or more coating layers, resulting in a bio-based and substantially biodegradable textile material that provides high performance in consumer industries, such as the footwear industry.

The description relates to solvent free films and textiles that receive the solvent free films.

A method of forming a textile element (10) for use as a structural support component in a garment is provided. The method includes providing a fabric strip (12) having a plush surface (16). A molten thermoplastic coating (14) is applied to the plush surface (16) of the fabric strip (12) so that the molten thermoplastic coating (14) penetrates the plush surface (16). The molten thermoplastic coating (14) is allowed to cool or cure and solidify so as to embed at least surface yarns of the plush surface (16) in the thermoplastic coating (14) and thereby form a composite structure at a juncture (J) between the thermoplastic coating (14) and the plush surface (16).

The invention relates to a novel binder system and its use for bonding textile fabrics as well as products containing such bonded textile fabrics. The materials according to the invention are suitable for manufacturing base interlinings which may be used for manufacturing base interlinings for sarking, roofing and sealing membranes, particularly for manufacturing coated sarking, roofing and sealing membranes.

The present invention provides a process for the production of a fabric having a unique appearance and the fabric so obtained. Also provided is the clothing articles, i.e. garments, including the fabric. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for producing a woven fabric having a unique, e.g. “used” (i.e. worn-out) or “multi-shaded” appearance and the process includes a step of providing a woven fabric with a layer of bacterial biopolymer, dyeing at least part of the fabric together with the biopolymer layer, and then removing at least part of the bacterial biopolymer layer from the fabric.
