A shading device for a greenhouse includes a shading element and at least one lighting element, wherein the shading element comprises an outer side and an inner side. The shading element is formed from interwoven electrically conductive first thread elements and electrically insulating second thread elements. The first and/or second thread elements each may be adapted for reflecting an ambient light. The lighting element(s) may be arranged at the inner side of the shading element and connected with the first thread elements, and the lighting element(s) may be driven by an electrical current, conducted by the first thread elements, resulting in the emission of an artificial light, which may illuminate a plant growing in the greenhouse.

The invention relates to a shading device (10) for a greenhouse (15), with a shading element (20) and at least one lighting element (50,50), wherein the shading element (20) comprises an outer side (21) and an inner side (22), the shading element (20) is formed from interwoven electrically conductive first thread elements (30,30) and electrically insulating second thread elements (40), the first thread element (30,30) comprises a reflective mean (33), reflecting an ambient light (60), the lighting element (50,50) is arranged at the inner side (22) of the shading element (20) and connected with the first thread element (30,30), and the lighting element (50,50) is driven by an electrical current, conducted by the first thread element (30,30), resulting in the emission of an artificial light (51), illuminating a plant (80) growing in the greenhouse (15).

The present invention discloses a Textilene mesh fabric and its application, which comprises warp yarns and weft yarns interwoven; the warp yarns comprise the first warp yarns and the second warp yarns, and the weft yarns comprise the first weft yarns and the second weft yarns; the first warp yarns and the first weft yarns are PVC threads, and the second warp yarns and the second weft yarns are polyester synthetic fibers. The present invention uses the polyester synthetic fiber to replace the traditional polyester yarn, and mixes with PVC thread prepared by the thread production mechanism to weave the Textilene mesh fabric that has an elongation ratio of more than 30% under high-temperature softening.

A vinyl chloride-based fiber includes a vinyl chloride-based resin composition. The vinyl chloride-based resin composition includes a vinyl chloride-based resin A and a vinyl chloride-based resin B. The vinyl chloride-based resin A is a copolymer of vinyl chloride and a macromonomer and the vinyl chloride-based resin B is a vinyl chloride-based resin other than the vinyl chloride-based resin A. A method for producing the vinyl chloride-based fiber includes a step of obtaining undrawn yarn by melt-spinning the vinyl chloride-based resin composition.

The present invention provides artificial hair having a fluffy and voluminous shape by being immersed in hot water. The artificial hair includes a fiber cord in which one or a plurality of fiber bundles are braided, helically wound, or fixed at intervals with a plurality of fixtures, and has a configuration in which the fiber bundle includes at least first fibers and second fibers having different softening temperatures, and the fiber cord has a plurality of processing regions in a middle section in a longitudinal direction, and in the fiber cord, the number of the processing regions is five or more, and the arithmetic average length of the plurality of processing regions in the longitudinal direction in a suspended state is 0.7 cm or more and 6 cm or less.

Provided is an artificial turf, including a base cloth, artificial turf yarns tufted on the base cloth, and a bonding layer applied on the base cloth. The bonding layer is provided with water permeable holes formed by blowing air onto the base cloth through an air blowing device. The artificial turf has excellent water permeability. Moreover, there is no need to pierce an adhesive side of the base cloth during production, thereby avoiding damage to the structure of the artificial turf by piercing. This effectively prevents the artificial turf yarns from loosening and falling off and prolongs the service life of the artificial turf.

The problem addressed by the present invention is to suppress a decrease in air permeability of a nonwoven fabric while suppressing falling off of functional particles. The means for solving the problem of the present invention is that a functional nonwoven fabric 1 is formed to contain long fibers made of synthetic resin and integrated with functional particles 4, 4 having a predetermined function. A diameter of the long fiber changes in a longitudinal direction of the fibers so that a plurality of large diameter portions 2, 2 and a plurality of small diameter portions 3, 3 are alternately arranged. The small diameter portions 3, 3 are monofilaments formed of the synthetic resin. At least a part of the large diameter portions 2, 2 contain the functional particle 4. A fiber diameter of the small diameter portions 3, 3 is equal to or smaller than a diameter of the functional particles 4, 4 contained in the large diameter portions 2, 2.

A method of manufacturing carbon fiber includes (a) preparing a solution by mixing a raw material containing at least one chlorine group in the side chain of a repeat unit with a solvent, (b) forming a fibrous material by spinning the solution, (c) forming a ladder-like chemical ring structure in the fibrous material by hydrothermally treating the fibrous material with a hydrochloric acid solution at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, and (d) carbonizing the result of step (c).

A modacrylic fiber includes a modacrylic polymer, a halogen-containing compound other than the modacrylic polymer, and a compound containing tin and zinc. The halogen-containing compound contains halogen in an amount of 50 mass % or more.
