The present application provides a fabric coloring method and a colored fabric, where the fabric coloring method includes: performing radiation drying on a base cloth; sequentially forming an adhesive layer and at least one color-generating layer on a surface of the base cloth after the radiation drying by vacuum deposition, where the adhesive layer contains at least one of Ti, Cr, Si and Ni, and a thickness of the adhesive layer ranges from 1 nm to 2000 nm; the color-generating layer contains at least one of Al, Ti, Cu, Fe, Mo, Zn, Ag, Au, and Mg, and the total thickness of the color-generating layer ranges from 1 nm to 4000 nm. The fabric coloring method can not only produce rich colors and make the colored fabric have good color fastness, but also reduce the sensitivity of color of the colored fabric to thickness of the film, thus improving the industrial operability.

A textile composite comprising a meltable layer, a heat reactive material comprising a polymer resin comprising an aqueous acrylic resin, expandable graphite, and at least one flame retardant additive and an additional layer disposed on the heat reactive material so that the heat reactive material is between the meltable layer and the additional layer.

Described herein is an antiviral face mask and methods of use thereof to inactivate a virus in contact with the face mask. The face mask may include a fibrous material with silicon nitride powder impregnated therein and a layer surrounding the fibrous material. In some embodiments, silicon nitride is present in the fibrous material at a concentration of about 30 wt. % to about 50 wt. %.

A surface-treated carbon fiber having a mole ratio between a carboxyl group and an acid anhydride of 50:50 to 70:30 when measured by pyrolysis gas analysis, is manufactured by spraying a reactive gas that has been made into a plasma onto the surface of a carbon fiber and introducing a functional group into the surface of the carbon fiber.
