A process for the production of coated textiles comprises at least the steps of a) bringing a textile substrate into contact with an aqueous dispersion A comprising at least one salt and at least one modified cellulose, b) bringing a textile substrate into contact with an aqueous dispersion B comprising at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of polyurethane, polyacrylate and polybutadiene and c) precipitation of the polyurethane in or on the textile substrate. The salt of dispersion A is an organic onium salt of one or more elements of the fifth main group of the periodic table of the elements. The invention further relates to a coated textile obtainable by a process according to the invention and to the use of organic onium salts of one or more elements of the fifth main group of the periodic table of the elements for the production of coated textiles.

The present disclosure relates to textile care agents and to optically clear and transparent fabric softener formulations which also have a viscous consistency, containing a combination of special ester quats with nonionic emulsifiers and cationic thickeners, to the use of said textile care agents and fabric softener formulations. The present disclosure also relates to a method for washing textiles using said textile care agent and fabric softener formulations. The present disclosure relates to methods for producing the special ester quats, to the thus resulting ester quats and to the use thereof.

Silkworm silk, has been processed into a variety of new material formats including, hydrogels, ultrathin films, thick films, conformal coatings, 3D porous or solid matrices, fibers and many related material formats. Silk is processed in an all water-based, room temperature, neutral pH environment, is mechanically stable, edible, and biocompatible. Given the favorable material properties, the use of silk-based inks have been used in a variety of controlled chemical and biological material fabrication on the micro- and nano-scale. Tuning of the properties of silk-based inks has led to the utilization of more diverse printing techniques and has expanded the scale and function of the printed substrates.

According to the present disclosure, a resin product is brought into contact with a treatment liquid containing an antibacterial antifungal compound (A) of a quaternary ammonium salt compound having a molecular weight of not greater than 1500 and, in this state, heat-treated under a normal atmospheric pressure or under an increased pressure, whereby the antibacterial antifungal compound (A) is immobilized on at least a surface of the resin product. Thus, an excellent antibacterial/antifungal finished product having water resistance and laundry durability is provided.
