A heat-generating fabric contains an modacrylic fiber A and an animal hair fiber. The modacrylic fiber A contains an infrared absorber inside of the fiber, in an amount of 1 to 30% by weight with respect to the total weight of the modacrylic fiber, and the fabric has a heat-shielding rate of less than 40% as measured according to JIS L 1951:2019. The heat-generating fabric contains a first yarn and a second yarn whose fiber composition is different from that of the first yarn. The first yarn may contain the modacrylic fiber A, and the second yarn may contain the animal hair fiber. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a fabric with good heat-generating performance and durability, and a textile product containing the fabric.

Acrylic and modacrylic fiber stabilized against sunlight The invention is related to increasing the resistance of acrylic fiber containing at least 85% acrylonitrile groups and modacrylic fibers containing at least 40% acrylonitrile groups and at least 40% vinylidene chloride groups, against UV light and surface heating caused by sunlight.

Staple fibers and compositions formed from staple fibers are disclosed herein. The fibers are functionalized with molecules that render fabrics comprising the disclosed fibers hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and/or release molecules upon exposure to an external stimulus. Also presented are methods of synthesizing the same and a fabric comprising woven yarns including the staple fiber.

A nonwoven biofabric comprises a web comprising (a) biodegradable polymeric melt blown fibers, and (b) a plurality of particles enmeshed in the biodegradable polymeric meltblown fibers.

Artificial grass (100, 200, 320) with good fire-retardant performance including its manufacturing process (300) is disclosed, particularly to be used for indoor applications. The fire retardant, particularly of halogen-based type (311), is incorporated within the artificial fiber filaments (101, 201, 301). The backing (102, 202, 302) onto which the artificial fiber filaments (101, 201, 301) are attached, may also be provided with a fire retardant.

In various aspects, the present disclosure relates to fibers and fabric media comprising photoactivatable agents and to fibers and fabric media that are photoactivatable by photoactivation of the photoactivatable agents. In some instances, the fibers and the fabric media have photoactivatable agents present on their surface (e.g., the fiber/fabric is coated or sprayed with the photoactivatable agents or the fiber/fabric is dipped into a composition or a formulation comprising the photoactivatable agent). In other instances, the photoactivatable agents are incorporated into the materials making the fibers (e.g., the photoactivatable agents are mixed/compounded with the materials making the fibers). The photoactivatable fibers of the present disclosure comprise at least one thermoplastic polymer and at least photoactivatable agent that absorbs and emits light between about 400 nm and about 800 nm.

An arc resistant acrylic fiber includes an acrylic polymer. The arc resistant acrylic fiber also includes an infrared absorber in an amount of 1 wt % to 30 wt % with respect to a total weight of the acrylic polymer.

Glossy fibers can be processed into woven or knitted fabric suitable for clothing applications while exhibiting a sense of deep, lustrous glossiness. The glossy fibers are characterized by having an average reflectance for the visible light region of 20% or greater, an average transmittance of 40% of less, and a contrastive glossiness of 3.0 or less.

The invention discloses environment-controlling fibers, method manufacturing the same and fabrics using the same, which adopts polyolefin material, optoelectronic material, thermoelectric material, piezoelectric material and catalyst material, to make fibers and fabric by melting, mixing, drawing and weaving. The fabrics are used in all kinds of environmental control products or for organic agriculture. To use green energy such as solar light energy, solar thermal energy, wind energy, hydro energy, geothermal energy and other renewable energy to stimulate the function of the special material within the fibers, so that the fabrics can remove pollutants in the environment and produce self-purification function to achieve the purpose of improving the environmental conditions or promote plant growth.

A ball-shaped photothermal filler is provided, which is formed by making one or more short fibers selected from a polyamide short fiber, a polyester short fiber, and a polypropylene short fiber in the shape of a ball, wherein the filler contains a photothermal material.
