An object of the invention is to provide a coloring technique by which more unevenness of a fiber substrate can be retained, luster can be imparted, and heat ray reflectivity can be improved. This problem can be solved by a laminated sheet comprising a fiber substrate and a metal layer disposed on the surface of the fiber substrate.

A manufacturing method and an apparatus enable high productivity. A method for manufacturing an oxidized fiber bundle includes joining an upstream precursor fiber bundle and a downstream precursor fiber bundle together with a joining fiber bundle, and oxidizing the joined precursor fiber bundles by feeding the joined precursor fiber bundles through an oxidization furnace. The joining includes applying an oiling agent to a joint area of a joining target precursor fiber bundle before joining the joining target precursor fiber bundle and the joining fiber bundle together. A quantity of the oiling agent adhering to the joint area is 0.15 to 0.85 wt %.

A multifunctional high-strength composite fabric coating agent, a coating, a method for preparing the same and an application thereof are provided. The fabric coating agent includes a resin, a reinforcing agent with a reactive group, a bifunctional dispersing agent, a leveling agent, a film forming agent, a softening agent, an antibacterial agent, a solvent, and the like. The reinforcing agent is modified such that it has active functional groups of OH and NH.sub.3. The fabric coating agent is not only easy to apply, fast to react and stabilize, but also suitable for a fabric surface of any material. A treated fabric has high tensile-breaking strength, excellent tearing and bursting performance, good waterproof-and-moisture-permeability and antibacterial performance, and high adhesion. It can be repeatedly knife coated, roll coated, calendared, or dipped. The method is not only mature in technology and low in production cost, but also suitable for large-scale application.
