Examples of a knitted or woven fabric with moisture management function are described, comprising a face fabric layer with a durable water repellency (DWR) additives forming a fabric outer surface that is hydrophobic and a back fabric layer comprising a second yarn that is highly hydrophilic forming a moisture regain core to absorb the moisture and spread it across on an inside surface of the back fabric layer. The outer (face) layer of the fabric is hydrophobic due to the added DWR additives to the first yarn while the inner (back) layer of the fabric is highly hydrophilic that absorbs and spreads the moisture across the inner side of the back layer so that it dries faster making the outer surface of the face fabric layer dry thus reducing the occurrence of water I liquid spots on the face layer outer surface.

Articles of wear having one or more textiles that include a low processing temperature polymeric composition and a high processing temperature polymeric composition, and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The low processing temperature polymeric composition and the high processing temperature polymeric composition can be selectively incorporated into a textile to provide one or more structural properties and/or other advantageous properties to the article. The textile can be thermoformed to impart such structural and/or other advantageous properties to the article of wear. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

An article may include first and second components comprising non-woven textiles and a third component positioned between the first two components. A first surface of the third component that is adjacent the first component comprises a thermoplastic polymer material, and the third component is fused with a first region of the first component and unfused with a second region of the first component. A method of manufacturing the article, which may be an article of wear, includes arranging the components to form a stacked configuration so that the third component is positioned between the first and second components. Heat and compression may be applied to at least a first region of the first component to fuse the first region with the third component, whereas a second region of the first component may remain unfused to the second component.

Single layer and multi-layer anti-microbial wound care masks having a hydrophilic yarn containing silver and wound care articles are disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to knits that can be used to make rip-resistant garments using an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber and a companion fiber such as a stretch fiber or a memory fiber. The UHMWPE fiber includes a monofilament or multiple microfilaments, each of the microfilaments has a denier of 5 or less.

A method for preliminarily making a basic knitted fabric by repeatedly juxtapositionally plating a hydrophilic yarn on a hydrophobic yarn to form an inner hydrophobic sublayer consisting of a plurality of inner hydrophobic loops to be contacted with a wearer's skin, and an outer hydrophilic sublayer consisting of a plurality of outer hydrophilic loops at an outer surface; and for secondarily fleecing the basic knitted fabric to increase its capillary gradient and uni-directional moisture transportability for quickly transporting moisture outwardly for making the wearer more dry, warm, comfortable.

The present disclosure provides a weaving method of a weft-backed jacquard fabric with color shading effects and belongs to the technical field of weaving methods. In a single-warp and double-weft structure with a weft yarn arrangement ratio of Wefts A and Wefts B of 2:1, by designing two groups of face weaves and backing weaves and corresponding backed points and using a shaded strengthening method, two color shading effects of color shading of the Wefts A and mixed color shading of the Wefts A and the Wefts B of the fabric are achieved. A maximum number of shaded weaves is [R/N(6R−2J.sub.2−J.sub.1−3)+2], and a grade number of shaded color is less than or equal to the maximum number of the shaded weaves. The designed fabric meets the covering requirements and can be mass produced.

Described are shoes, particularly a sports shoe, having an upper and at least one of an outer sole and a midsole connected to the upper. As examples, the outer sole is knitted in a unitary fashion with the upper. As further examples, an insert is positioned within the one-piece knitwear, wherein the insert comprises a profile that increases traction of the outer sole.

The present disclosure provides an upper for an article of footwear. The upper may include a knitted component having a first yarn and a second yarn, where the first yarn comprises a core with a sheath, the sheath being formed of a thermoplastic material having a melting temperature. The second yarn may be substantially free of the thermoplastic material. The knitted component may further comprise a first layer having a first surface and a second layer having a second surface, where the first layer and the second layer are secured via a knit structure of the knitted component, and where the knitted component further comprises a first region and a second region.

A fabric for producing an induced electromagnetic field in the presence of a human body to reduce endogenous pain, includes a non-conductive base fabric, a plurality of parallel, spaced apart electrically conducting carbon fibers interspersed in the base fabric constituting approximately 3% of the weight of the fabric, and a plurality of parallel, spaced apart electrically conducting silver fibers interspersed in the base fabric constituting approximately 6% of the weight of the fabric, and being in parallel, spaced apart relation to the electrically conducting carbon fibers.
