A method of generating a coiled actuator fiber that includes twisting a fiber to generate a twisted fiber; wrapping the twisted fiber around a core yarn or fiber to generate a coil in the twisted fiber, which generates a coiled twisted fiber; setting the coiled twisted fiber by heat or chemical treatment; and removing at least a portion of the core yarn or fiber to generate a coiled actuator fiber.

Silk infused performance apparel and methods of preparing the same are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, silk performance apparel includes textiles, fabrics, consumer products, leather, and other materials that are coated with aqueous solutions of pure silk fibroin-based protein fragments. In some embodiments, coated apparel products, textiles, and upholstery, as well as other materials, exhibit surprisingly improved moisture management properties, resistance to microbial growth, increased abrasion resistance, and flame resistance.

The present invention comprises the coating and modification of textile materials in order to provide them with water-repellent properties. The object of the invention was to hydrophobize textiles loaded with metal oxide, wherein the hydrophobing agent presented here is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, adhering to the metal oxide surface considerably more stably and without the use of additional dispersants and binders, which also takes environmental aspects into account. The object is achieved by the use according to the invention of metal oxide particles and/or metal hydroxide particles of group IVB, IIB or IIIA or mixtures thereof, wherein said particles are present in a size range of 110 nm-10 μm, for the coating of textile materials and their treatment after application to the textile with phosphoric or phosphonic acid ester derivatives of the general form OP(OH).sub.2OR or OP(OH).sub.2R, wherein R is a hydrophobic residue in the form of aliphatic, branched or unbranched, alicyclic or aromatic hydrocarbon groups having 5-40 carbon atoms.

The present invention is to provide a polyester fabric for airbags famed from a polyester fiber, which can reduce costs, and the polyester fabric for airbags has high restraint performance for receiving the occupant during deployment and maintains the performance at high levels even after aging, while maintaining the mechanical characteristics as a fabric for airbags. The solution to the object is to provide a polyester fabric for airbags having a coating resin on at least one surface characterized in that the polyester fabric has an optimized crimp ratio and has scrub test strokes of 400 or more after aging treatment at 70° C. at 95% RH for 408 hours.

The present invention relates to a tire cord having excellent durability while being thin in thickness, a manufacturing method thereof and a tire comprising the same.

A water-repellent structure includes: a base material; and a water-repellent layer located on a surface of the base material. The water-repellent layer contains water-repellent particles and filler particles having an average particle size that is 20 times or more as large as an average particle size of the water-repellent particles.

Fibers for artificial hair containing resin particles adhering to the fiber surface are provided. The amount of the resin particles adhering to the fiber surface is 0.3% omf or more and 1.1% omf or less. The average particle diameter of the resin particles is 1 μm or more and 20 μm or less. A method for producing the fibers for artificial hair, includes applying a resin emulsion having an average particle diameter of 350 nm or more to the fiber surface, in an amount of 0.3% omf or more and 1.1% omf or less on a solid basis. The fibers for artificial hair having an excellent combing property and a gloss close to human hair, hair ornament products including the same, and a method for producing the same are provided.

A protective pad or garment portion, garments, and individual layers, being a moisture wicking layer, a core moisture absorbing layer and a moisture impermeable layer, and combinations thereof are disclosed.
