A filament article containing a curable composition is provided. The filament article has a first part containing an epoxy resin and a second part containing a polyamine having at least two secondary or primary amino groups. The first part is surrounded by a sheath and a second part surrounded by a sheath. Either 1) the first part surrounded by the sheath and the second part surrounded by the sheath are each a separate filament or 2) the first part surrounded by the sheath and the second part surrounded by the sheath combine to form a composite filament. The curable filament article can be used to form a cured composition having structural bonding performance.

A nonwoven web is made by displacing an air-permeable mesh-belt conveyor in a horizontal travel direction and spinning and then depositing crimped continuous filaments as a web at a deposit region on the air-permeable mesh-belt conveyor. A first preconsolidation stage is provided downstream of the deposit region and a second preconsolidation separated by a suction gap from the first stage. Air is drawn air through the web and the conveyor at the deposit region at a first predetermined speed, the first and second consolidation stages at a second and third predetermined speeds, and at the suction gap either not at all or at a fourth predetermined equal to at most substantially less than the second predetermined speed.

Disclosed are a variable-temperature yarn with a continuous sense of cold and a manufacturing method thereof. A fiber of the variable-temperature yarn with a continuous sense of cold comprises a skin part and a core part, wherein the core part is wrapped in the skin part and is made of a PCM or phase-change energy-storage wax, and a cross-sectional area of the PCM or phase-change energy-storage wax accounts for 5%-70% of a cross-sectional area of the fiber. More PCMs can be directly injected into a fiber core, so that a textile product has a stronger sense of cold, the sense of continuous cold of the product is greatly improved, the requirement of users for cold experience is better met, and the market blank is filled.

A core-sheath filament is provided that includes a curable composition. The curable composition contains an epoxy resin and a photoacid generator. Methods of making the core-sheath filament and methods of using the core-sheath filament for printing and bonding are provided. The core-sheath filaments can be used to form a cured composition having structural bonding performance.

A fiber with metal ions excited by luminous energy and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The method includes: adding dry copper nanopowder with a particle size not more than 48 nm after mixing to a fiber slurry, to form a first mixed liquid; mixing and stirring the first mixed liquid and an additive, and performing an electrochemical reaction, to form a second mixed liquid, where the additive contains at least one of graphene, Ge ions, and Zr ions; performing energy exciting on the second mixed liquid, to form a mixed material; drying the mixed material, to remove moisture contained in the mixed material; extruding at least one fibril from the mixed material by using a spinning device; passing the at least one fibril through a plurality of rollers and performing stretching; and performing cooling and shaping on at least one stretched fibril, to form a final fiber product.

Disclosed herein is a fiber having a sheath including a polymer and a core including a non-cholesteric liquid crystal. The sheath is transparent to visible light. The fiber may an average diameter of no more than 10 microns, and at least 90% of the fiber has a diameter within 20% of the average diameter. The sheath may include a compound capable of photoisomerization that extends into the core. The interference color of the fiber may be reversibly changed by exposure to light or a temperature change.

A method for producing a nonwoven fabric made of crimped synthetic fibers, wherein the synthetic fibers are spun and are deposited on a conveyor as a nonwoven web. The deposited nonwoven web is pre-bonded by means of at least one first hot-air bonding device, wherein a main suction air is sucked from below through the conveyor in the area of fiber deposition. A first suction air is sucked from below through the conveyor in the region of the first hot-air bonding device. The air speed of the main suction air is greater than the air speed of the first suction air.
