A pretreatment liquid for water-based pigment textile printing is disclosed, which includes: 1 wt % to 30 wt % of aqueous non-ionic polyurethane; 1 wt % to 20 wt % of a metal salt; 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % of a melamine resin; and the balance being a solvent. A method for forming a pattern on a textile using the aforesaid pretreatment liquid is also disclosed.

A method for producing printed matter is disclosed that includes applying a pretreatment liquid containing a resin and a pretreatment liquid containing a coagulant to a substrate, and after the applying of these pretreatment liquids, applying an aqueous inkjet ink to the substrate using an inkjet system.

A transfer paper used for a transfer printing method using sublimation textile ink, comprising a base paper and one or more coating layer(s) provided on at least one side of the base paper, wherein an outermost coating layer positioned on the outermost side with respect to the base paper contains at least a pigment, a binder, a polyacrylic acid salt and an acetylene glycol derivative, has image deterioration resistance, good color development property and excellent adhesion property.

An inkjet recording method is provided that includes the following steps: applying a pretreatment liquid to a fabric; applying a first white ink by an inkjet method and a wet on wet method onto an application region of the pretreatment liquid obtained in the applying of the pretreatment liquid, to form an image; applying a second white ink by an inkjet method and a wet on wet method onto the image formed in the applying of the first white ink; and applying a color ink by an inkjet method and a wet on wet method onto an image obtained in the applying of the second white ink.

Provided is a method for decolorizing a polyester, the method including exposing adding a decoloring agent to the polyester and then contacting the polyester with superheated water vapor.

An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method of affixing molecules to a polymer material, comprising: placing the polymer material in a reactor; removing at least a portion of sorbed water present in the polymer material; exposing the polymer material to a metal precursor to produce an inorganic-organic polymer hybrid material; and soaking the polymer hybrid material in a solution comprising the molecules.

The present teachings include a process, system and article for forming a printed image on a textile. The process includes coating the solution of an orthosilicate to form a silica network on the textile. The process includes applying an ink composition to the textile having the silica network on the textile, forming an image.
