The invention relates to the use of binder compositions containing one or more polymers based on ethylenically unsaturated monomers for producing textile sheet products, characterized in that the polymers are based on a) from 0.1 to 10% by weight of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing epoxy groups, b) from 0.1 to 10% by weight of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing silane groups and c) one or more other ethylenically unsaturated monomers differing from the monomers a) and b), where the % by weight data are always based on the total weight of the polymers.

The invention relates to a wet chemical method for the surface modification of products made of low-energy synthetic fibers, to the products produced by the method and to the use of the products produced by the method. The material surface is permanently provided with functional groups by contact with an aqueous polyvinylalcohol solution containing silanol(ate) groups. Depending upon the design, the materials have a high water consumption or transmission capacity or exhibit a capillary activity. The range of uses for surface-modified materials is extended by the possibility of reacting the functional groups, inter alia, with biologically active components.
