The present disclosure relates to relates to fibers, yarns, fabrics and other materials that interact with electromagnetic radiation, wherein these materials are made from a carrier material (such as a cellulose or semi-cellulose) and a plurality of mineral particles as well as methods of making these materials. Specifically, the materials interact with electromagnetic radiation by absorption, reflection, refraction, polarization, or wavelength shifting. The fibers, yarns, fabrics and other materials of the disclosure are useful in a variety of products including furniture upholstery, sportswear and fashion applications.

A method of preparing a fabric for perspiration exhaust pajamas and underclothing includes the following steps: (1) grey cloth weaving: weaving a perspiration exhaust fiber, a regenerated cellulose fiber, and spandex into a grey cloth; (2) singeing: singeing the grey cloth to obtain a singed grey cloth through a two-face-two-back singeing; and (3) moisture adsorption and perspiration exhaust finishing: immersing the singed grey cloth in a finishing liquid, taking out the singed grey cloth for drying, baking, washing, and then drying to a constant weight to obtain the fabric for perspiration exhaust pajamas and underclothing.

A pure bamboo fiber mattress and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The manufacturing method includes the following steps: trimming and cleaning bamboo; sawing; splitting; slicing the bamboo strips; knitting; softening; directional fiber opening; dry cleaning, drying and removing dust; stacking; sewing and packing. The pure bamboo fiber mattress includes a surface layer, a transition layer, a core layer, another transition layer and another surface layer that are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The surface layer includes 3-5 layers of first bamboo mesh fabric laid one on top of another. The transition layer includes 3-8 layers of second bamboo mesh fabric laid one on top of another. The core layer includes 3-8 layers of third bamboo mesh fabric laid one on top of another. The first bamboo mesh fabric, the second bamboo mesh fabric and the third bamboo mesh fabric are made of bamboo fibers.

The present invention discloses an antimicrobial nonwoven cloth, whose raw materials comprising the following components in weight ratio: 75100 parts of polypropylene, 1025 parts of sodium p-styrenesulfonate, 1020 parts of silane coupling agent, 0.151 part of polyhexamethylene biguanidine hydrochloride (PHMB), 0.050.4 part of zinc salt, 15 parts of bamboo charcoal fiber, and 0.010.1 part of nanometer fumed silica. Further, a method of preparing the antimicrobial nonwoven cloth and a mask with antimicrobial nonwoven cloth are disclosed, to prevent bacteria from spreading through the air and saliva.

Aspects herein are directed to braided articles and methods for their manufacture. The braided articles may include articles of footwear having braided uppers. The braided uppers may include a base yarn and a high performance yarn. The high performance yarn may form a braided structure within the braided upper. The braided structure may be continuously braided to provide continuous support to a wearer's foot when the article of footwear is worn as intended, by a wearer.

Undergarment products of the disclosure may comprise a bamboo fabric and a non-woven material. The undergarment may include bamboo fabric and a non-woven material in addition to other materials. In some cases, the garments may principally or primarily include bamboo fabric and a non-woven material with only the addition of further components and materials to manufacture the garment including stitching, elastic components, etc. In preferred embodiments, an undergarment of the disclosure may include a central section comprising bamboo fabric and side sections comprising a non-woven material. The bamboo used to make the underwear may be around 125 grams per square meter (GSM) and the non-woven material may be 100% cotton based.

Disclosed is a method for the manufacture of fibrous yarn including the steps, where an aqueous suspension including fibers and at least one rheology modifier is provided, followed by directing the suspension through at least one nozzle, to form at least one yarn, and then dewatering the yarn.

An apparatus for delaminating a bamboo into fibers includes a machine frame, a machine seat arranged in a middle of the machine, a machine cover matching with the machine seat, a push plate, a power source, and an elastic member. The machine seat includes multiple grooves formed in a top to respectively receive therein bamboo pieces. The machine cover includes multiple ribs formed on a bottom thereof. The machine cover is slidable relative to the machine seat to have the ribs of the machine cover respectively receivable in and engageable with the grooves of the machine seat so as to sandwich bamboo pieces therebetween. A push plate is driven by the power source to selectively move relative to the machine seat and has a bent end portion that bends and pushes portions of the bamboo pieces to slide on the top of the machine cover.

The present invention relates to a method of producing a ribbon (12) comprising bamboo fibers (14), the method comprising: positioning the fibers (14) on a conveyor (16) and conveying the fibers in a transport direction, interconnecting the fibers (14) by: covering the fibers with thread (42) and/or particles of a sticky material with at least one web forming device (40) which is positioned above and/or below the conveyor and which ejects thread and/or particles, wherein the formed thread and/or particles attaches to the fibers and forms a web (45) which interconnects the fibers in order to form the ribbon, and/or stitching the fibres together with at least one stitching device (40B) which is configured to stitch the individual fibers together in order to form the ribbon.
