The present invention is directed to eyectrochromic, supercapacitor yarns and the related fabrics. An electrochromic yarn formed by two interwind threads has been invented. The yarn is electrically isolated by a transparent, uncolored polymer. Each thread is the superposition of three concentric layers. The most internal one, the core, has the function of support and/or conductive layer, the second one is the eiectrochromic layer containing conductive nanoparticies, the third layer is a polymer dielectric blend. The yarns described above allows to generate electrochromic fabrics in which the colour can be varied by the application of small electric voltages fed by a battery with variable power supply controlled by a microprocessor connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth technology. A specific application on the smartphone allows to change the voltage supply to the fabrics, in order to get the desired chromatic change.

The invention discloses a technology for recovery, regeneration and reuse of soluble textiles. The technology comprises the steps of: the dissolution-controlled soluble polyester fibres are processed into soluble apparel accessories through conventional weaving, dyeing, finishing and tailoring or injection molding; the apparels or the soluble apparel accessories are dissolved under a certain condition, on one hand, the dissolving solution is filtered and solutes are recovered to obtain a high purity of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, which are reused to the polymerization of the soluble polyester, and the slices of the soluble polyester are obtained to be re-spun into the soluble fibres for reuse; on the other hand, the incompact and undissolved textiles are treated into an incompact fibre aggregation with good qualities by processes including disinfection, decolourization or redyeing, which are processed into high-quality textile fibres for reuse after drying or softly carding.

The invention relates to a drive belt (1) having a main body into which one or more tension strands (3) composed of para-aramid in cord construction are embedded, wherein each tension strand (3) has twisted plies each formed from at least one twisted yarn, and wherein the turning direction of the respective ply (first twist) is the opposite of the turning direction of the cord (final twist).

It is a feature of the invention that the tension strands (3) each have at least four plies, wherein the twist factor TM.sub.1 of the plies (first twist) is between 4.5 and 5.4, and the twist factor TM.sub.2 of the cord (final twist) is between 2.7 and 3.8, and the ratio of the twist factor of the plies to the twist factor of the cord (TM.sub.1/TM.sub.2) is between 1.3 and 1.5.
