A method for infiltrating a substance into a heterogeneous solid of a material of an elastomeric strap to form a logo that includes providing a permeating substance and a heterogeneous solid of the elastomeric strap. The heterogeneous solid comprises a first region, a second region, and an interface region interposed between the first region and the second region. The method also includes applying an energy to the heterogeneous solid with the energy of an amount sufficient to render the interface region temporarily permeable; applying a driving force configured to infiltrate the permeating substance into the interface region to form the logo; and, modifying the application of the energy, thereby rendering the interface region impermeable and causing a portion of the permeating substance to disperse into the first region.

A fabric printable medium includes a fabric base substrate, which includes yarn strands and voids among the yarn strands. The fabric printable medium further includes a finishing coating attached to the yarn strands of the fabric base substrate to form coated yarn strands. The finishing coating includes polymeric compound or a mixture of polymeric compounds having a glass transition temperature is less than 15 C. The fabric printable medium has pore spaces among the coated yarn strands that coincide with at least some of the voids of the fabric base substrate.

The present invention refers to a method for improving the sharpness and stability of prints by digital printing on hair fabrics and a textile product obtained by the method, which is aimed at solving the problem of capturing a predetermined digital image on a fabric of hair, where the image has characteristics of definition, contrast and durability of the print without neglecting or affecting the texture and joints of the tissue on which it is shaped. Preferably without intending to limit the scope of the invention, the woven material can be bedding such as blankets, quilts and the like, clothing, woven items for personal use, among others made of hair fabrics.

To provide a method of producing a processed cloth capable of forming various concave-convex patterns on a cloth material in a simple manner. A method of producing a processed cloth comprising the steps of: preparing a cloth; printing a first sizing agent containing a foaming agent on at least a portion of the cloth material; and pressing the printed cloth with a heated metal plate to foam the foaming agent. The method of producing a processed cloth may further include a step of printing a second sizing agent containing a coloring agent on the cloth material. The method of producing the processed cloth may further include a step of sublimation transfer to the cloth material.

Apparatuses and processes for producing yarn having longitudinally variable dye uptake and well as yarns having longitudinally variable dye uptake and articles prepared from these yarns are provided.

A tri-knit comfort fabric and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method includes steps of knitting a raw material with a three-thread yarn feeder to obtain a primary fabric, performing a greige fabric stenter finishing process on the knitted primary fabric, dying the primary fabric, then dewatering, treating through a flat-width fabric dryer and performing the stenter finishing process to the dyed fabric to obtain the tri-knit comfort fabric. The preparation method improves the wearing comfort and moisture wicking function of the three-thread fabric, and the fabric prepared by the three-thread knitting method of adding the polyester component can be iron-free after washing. In addition, its moisture wicking, quick drying, water permeability, breathability and antistatic properties are also very good. It can also be separately added with independent functions such as thermal insulating, ice-feeling, anti-UV, antibacterial, anti-mildew and anti-mite. The process is simple, convenient for mass production.

A cloth heating apparatus includes a body, a receiver, a cloth holder, and a heater. The receiver is disposed in the body. The cloth holder is removably attached to the receiver, to hold a cloth. The heater is disposed in the body, to heat the cloth. The cloth holder is removably attachable to a printing apparatus to print an image on the cloth, with the cloth held on the cloth holder.

A heating device includes a holder, a receiver, a heating unit, a vertical mover, and circuitry. The holder holds a heating target object. The receiver removably holds the holder. The heating unit heats the heating target object. The vertical mover moves at least one of the receiver and the heating unit vertically relative to each other, between a non-contact heating position and a contact heating position. The circuitry causes the vertical mover to move the at least one of the receiver and the heating unit to the non-contact position, causes the heating unit to heat the heating target object in a non-contact state, causes the vertical mover to move the at least one of the receiver and the heating unit to the contact heating position, and causes the heating unit to heat the heating target object in a contact state.

The application of melanin to fabric improves resistance to chemical pass-through, with possible application in protective garments, shelters, and filtration materials.

A method for manufacturing fabric with flat screen and digital printed patterns includes: singeing, pretreatment, flat screen scraping sizing, drying, pattern printing, humidification, steaming treatment, washing, and non-ironing and soft setting. The pretreatment is a biological enzyme pretreatment process including: cloth feeding at 75 C., dipping, scouring and bleaching in a working fluid, heating to 90 C. for treatment of 30 minutes, draining, hot water washing and cold water washing. A shortened process flow can be realized, and the positioned sizing that uses a flat screen to scrape a sizing agent to a pattern position to be digital spray-printed on instead of traditional full-width sizing for sizing and printing, which greatly reduces the amount of sizing agent used, lowers production cost and reduces waste water pollution, and solves problem that the fabric is mottled caused by the application of sizing agent in areas without printed pattern due to full-width sizing.
