A leuco polymer includes a leuco monomer and an alkene. The leuco polymer has a molecular weight of at least 500 and is obtainable by polymerization of the leuco monomer and one or more alkene co-monomers. The leuco monomer consists of an alkene covalently bound to a leuco moiety and the leuco monomer has a molar extinction coefficient at a wavelength in the range 400 to 750 nm of less than 1000 M.sup.1cm.sup.1. The alkene monomer(s) have a molar extinction coefficient at a wavelength in the range 400 to 750 nm that is less than 100 M.sup.1cm.sup.1. Methods of making the leuco polymer, laundry care compositions comprising the leuco polymer and methods of treating textiles with such laundry care compositions.

Methods for obtaining natural colorants from plant material (e.g., tobacco material) and for using such natural colorants to dye various substrates are provided. Natural colorants are obtained using particular enzymes and particular conditions (e.g., time, temperature, and pH profiles). Such colorants can be used to dye substrates, for example, using conventional dyeing techniques or using unique in situ methods.

The invention relates to a knit fabric. There is a need for knit fabrics made that are comfortable to wear, have good washability and high softness. Good washability implies both dimensional stability of the fabric and maintaining positive surface aspects such as hairiness, pilling and fiber splice even after several washings. This object is solved according to the invention by a knitted fabric made from at least one yarn which consists of or contains lyocell filaments. The resulting fabric has a high wearing comfort and superior mechanical qualities.

A polyamide coating slurry and its preparing method, and a process for preparing polyamide-coated fabric for printing are provided. The present disclosure provides a polyamide coating slurry for precise inkjet printing with wide applicability simple preparation steps. The surface structure and lipophilicity of the coating can be changed by mixing polyvinyl butyral and polyoxypropylene lauryl ether, urea and poly-N-isopropylacrylamide in polyamide 6, so that the adsorption properties and permeability of the coating to ink are greatly improved, and thus high-precision inkjet printing can be realized.

The present disclosure discloses a dye for industrialization of dyeing cotton fiber in supercritical carbon dioxide that can react with cotton fiber, wherein a preparation method therefor comprises the following steps: dissolving a hydroxyl-containing natural dye in an organic solvent, dropwise adding an alcohol compound containing a halogen group into a reaction system in the presence of an acid-binding agent, precipitating the product with another solvent after the reaction is completed, and then filtrating and drying to obtain the compound described. The obtained compound is used for dyeing cotton fiber in supercritical carbon dioxide. The dye provided by the present disclosure is capable of dyeing cotton fiber in supercritical carbon dioxide conditions, and has a better color fastness while dyeing the cotton fiber.
