A method for preparing a bactericidal film on fiber cloth, comprising cleansing a reel of fiber cloth; placing the reel of fiber cloth into a vacuum chamber; supplying a DC power and a mid-frequency power; introducing argon gas to increase the chamber pressure to 0.3 Pa; position sputtering targets in the following order: silicon target, silicon carbide target, silver target, silicon carbide target, silver target, silicon carbide target and silver target, and then sputtering the targets simultaneously; wherein the silicon targets act as a bonding layer between the bactericidal film and the substrate; stopping the silicon targets, the silicon carbide targets and the silver targets first, and then turning off the argon gas; injecting air into the chamber until the pressure in the chamber and the atmospheric pressure are balanced.

One or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles of manufacture and components of articles that incorporate an optical element that imparts structural color to the component or the article. The component comprises a cured or curable material, and can include or be made to have a textured surface.

Methods for processing denim are provided. An initial fabric is abraded by passing the initial fabric through an abrader at a first predetermined speed, thereby obtaining a pre-washed fabric with an abraded texture. The abrader comprises one or more sanding boards, where each respective sanding board has a respective diamond surface that contacts the initial fabric while spinning about a respective axis at the respective center of the respective sanding board during the abrading. The pre-washed fabric is then washed with an ozone composition, thereby obtaining an ozone washed fabric.
