A product including a textile substrate and an image printed on the textile substrate in a predetermined area wherein surface fibers and lint are selectively removed from the textile substrate in the predetermined area by burning.

The present invention provides a biological tissue adhesive sheet having excellent tissue adhesiveness. The biological tissue adhesive sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a nonwoven fabric made of fibers containing a crosslinked cold-water fish gelatin. Thereby, the biological tissue adhesive sheet according to the present invention is superior in tissue adhesiveness and film strength to conventional medical sheets.

A water-repellent textile is produce by applying to a textile a solution of Al.sub.13 nanoclusters or aluminum nitrate or hydrates of aluminum nitrate in a solvent to produce a wetted textile; and photo-annealing the wetted textile with ultraviolet light having a wavelength in the range of 180 nm to 260 nm to produce an Al.sub.2O.sub.3 coating on fibers of the textile. The textile may be, for example, cotton, polyester, wool, nylon, chiffon, nubuck, leather, burlap, silk, denim, or any combination thereof. Preferably, the solvent is a solubilizing organic solvent, pure water, or a miscible organic/water solvent mixture.

The present disclosure relates to methods for preparing cross-linked polymeric materials, cross-linked polymeric materials which can be prepared by such methods and uses of such cross-linked polymeric materials, for example, as antibacterial surfaces or coatings. The present disclosure also relates to polymers such as the polymer of the general Formula (III) which can be used, for example, to prepare such cross-linked polymeric materials:

A method for preparing a modified rubber introduces a reactive group into a high-performance short fiber by irritating the short fiber by ultraviolet light, and modifies the short fiber by a coupling agent to increase the compatibility of the short fiber with a rubber matrix, and finally, utilizes the charge repulsion of sodium lauryl sulfate to effectively avoid the agglomeration of the short fibers in the rubber matrix, which is benefit for obtaining the modified rubber. The present disclosure further provides a modified rubber prepared by the method and a bulletproof and puncture resistant tire prepared by the modified rubber, wherein a buffer layer is made by the modified rubber, and at least one of a tread, a belt ply and an inner liner is made by the modified rubber, and a cord ply is woven by twisted high-performance long fibers.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a high tenacity yarn and a high tenacity yarn manufactured thereby. More particularly, the present invention relates to: a method of manufacturing a high tenacity yarn, the method including coating a yarn made of at least one of nylon and polyester to obtain a coated yarn, wherein the coating material contains 3 to 35 parts by weight of a reinforcing agent composed of a mineral material per 100 parts by weight of a coating liquid containing polyurethane; and a high tenacity yarn manufactured thereby. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a yarn having high tenacity and improved processability by processing a nylon or polyester yarn having a relatively low tenacity as compared with a high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) yarn by use of a yarn coating technique, and further to reduce production cost.

The present invention relates to a surgical suture having excellent biocompatibility and low friction, and to a method for manufacturing same. The suture according to the present invention has excellent biocompatibility and low friction, thereby reducing pain that may occur in a patient during suturing and minimizing the occurrence of inflammation in cells at a suture site, and also has excellent contact properties with cells, thereby capable of being used for various medical and surgical operations.

A method of treating a fabric, where the method includes the steps of contacting a fabric with a treatment composition, where the treatment composition comprises a population of delivery particles having a shell that includes a polymeric material that is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and chitosan, and exposing the delivery particles that are on the surface of the fabric to ultraviolet (UV) light. A consumer product that includes such treatment compositions in containers that block or absorb ultraviolet light.

The invention relates to a polymeric fabric comprising an outer functional layer having hydrophobic and oleophobic characteristics made of a first compound, and a second functional layer having hydrophobic characteristics made of a second compound, wherein the first and the second compound differ from each other. Further the outer functional layer at least partly coats the second layer. Additionally, the invention relates to a method of producing a polymeric fabric and an apparatus for producing a polymeric fabric.

Improved methods, designs and/or systems for incorporating markings and/or other visual and/or tactilely identifiable indicia on woven, knitted, nonwoven, braided and/or felted textiles used for medical textile implants and prostheses, including medical graft prostheses that would not affect the overall mechanical performance of the textile.
