Nonwoven fabrics including a first spunmelt through-air-bonded (TAB) nonwoven layer comprising a first plurality of spunmelt fibers, in which the first plurality of spunmelt fibers comprise a biopolymer. The first plurality of spunmelt fibers may be physically entangled with cellulosic fibers, such by hydroentangling. Methods of forming a nonwoven fabric including a first spunmelt TAB nonwoven layer are also provided.

It is described a knitted/woven fabric with moisture management function comprising a first fabric layer having a first yarn and a second yarn knitted together to form a first layer being semi-hydrophilic or hydrophobic (comprising of lower moisture regain fibers), a second fabric layer comprising a third yarn and a fourth yarn knitted together to form the second fabric layer, the second fabric layer being fully hydrophilic (comprising of higher moisture regain fibers), wherein the first fabric layer has a moisture regain lower than the moisture regain of the second fabric layer providing a hydrophilic gradient between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer of the knitted fabric pushing moisture through the first fabric layer in contact with the wearer's skin and out through the second fabric layer.

Rip-stop pants include waist and leg portions formed of ripstop fabric having synthetic mechanical-stretch filament yarns interwoven into spun, staple yarns in a ripstop pattern.

The present invention provides a process for the viable production of lyocell cellulose continuous filament yarns.

A solid electrolyte membrane having favorable characteristics and a method of forming the same are provided. A solid electrolyte membrane 40 is composed of a non-woven fabric (ultrafine fiber non-woven fabric) UFN and solid electrolyte particles 4AP incorporated therein. Also, the non-woven fabric UFN includes a fiber (ultrafine fiber UF) made of a resin containing a polar filler. A method of manufacturing the solid electrolyte membrane 40 includes a step of preparing the non-woven fabric UFN including a fiber made of a resin containing a polar filler, a step of applying a slurry S containing the solid electrolyte particles 4AP onto the non-woven fabric UFN, and a step of heating while pressurizing the slurry S on the non-woven fabric UFN. Further, the non-woven fabric UFN is formed by making the resin containing the polar filler be a fibrous form by a laser electrospinning method.

Provided is a cellulose solution (a composition) in which decomposition of cellulose does not easily proceed even if heated. Further, provided is a method for producing a cellulose fiber excellent in mechanical strength. The composition includes cellulose and a compound represented by the following formula (1), a concentration of 1-methylimidazolium chloride being 300 ppm or less on a mass basis with respect to the compound represented by the formula (1).

In the formula (1), R is an alkyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, and Me is a methyl group.

Fabrics and garments are disclosed that have dual protection against flash fires and electrical arc flashes. The fabrics can be made from spun yarns containing an intimate blend of fibers. The fibers contained in each yarn can include modacrylic fibers, natural cellulose fibers, and inherently flame resistant fibers.

A method includes forming a multi-pick yarn package through winding multiple oriented yarns onto a spool, with the multiple oriented yarns serving as weft yarns forming adjacent substantially parallel yarns wound together. Each of the multiple oriented yarns is formed through drawing each of multiple yarns from a corresponding supply package. The method also includes, using the multi-pick yarn package, simultaneously inserting the weft yarns in a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus in which the simultaneously inserted weft yarns are to be conveyed through a set of warp yarns to produce an incremental length of a woven textile fabric.
