UV protective fabrics and methods of making UV protective fabrics having ferulic acid and/or ferulic acid derivatives such as ethyl ferulate, including soaking the fabric in an aqueous solution of ferulic acid and/or a ferulic acid derivative, removing the fabric from the aqueous solution, and drying the soaked fabric. The aqueous solution may optionally include one or more surfactants. The ferulic acid and/or ferulic acid derivatives may provide UVA protection such as a UVA transmission of less than 5% and improved UPF such as a UPF of 50 or more, including fabrics which may have a dye, without changing the color of the fabric.

For improving the chemical and/or the physical properties of hollow-structure natural fibers, such as kapok fibers, the fibers are subjected to a process, which determines the internal coating and/or filling thereof, at least partly, with a substance capable of improving the chemical and/or the physical properties of the fibers.

The disclosure provides a treatment method for thermal storage goose down and its disclosure in preparing aviation suit, comprising the following steps: screening, degreasing, washing and squeezing the goose down in sequence to obtain goose down raw materials, mixing potassium thiocyanate, octadecyl isothiocyanate and water and stirring until uniform, mixing nano titanium carbide powder, vinyl modified siloxane, dispersant and water and stirring until uniform, using the primary modified solution and the secondary modified solution to perform padding treatment on the goose down raw material in sequence, the goose down obtained after the secondary modification is rinsed and vacuum dried to obtain the finished thermal storage goose down. The disclosure performs two modification treatments on goose down, only uses phase change materials to give the goose down good light-to-heat conversion performance, improves the fluffiness of the goose down by enhancing the breaking strength and resilience of the goose down.

Provided are MOF-fabric composites having a crystalline MOF adhered directly to fibers of the fabric and methods of making MOF-fabric composites. A solution is adsorbed onto a fabric. The solution can include a metal salt, a linker, and a solvent. The solution is adsorbed onto the fabric and the fabric suspended over a heated vapor. The vapor releases onto the fabric, causing the metal salt, the linker, and the solvent to diffuse out of the polymer fibers. The linker links metal from the metal salts to form crystals attached to the fabric, and the vapor aids crystallization.
