Silk processed, coated, repaired, and/or infused leather or leather articles, and methods of preparing the same are disclosed herein.

Provided are: a coloring composition for dyeing including a compound represented by Formula (1) shown in this specification or a salt thereof; a coloring composition for textile printing in which the coloring composition for dyeing is used for textile printing; a compound which is preferable as a material of the coloring compositions; a textile printing method in which the above-described coloring composition for textile printing is used; an ink for ink jet textile printing including the above-described coloring composition for textile printing; and a dyed fabric.

Light-reflective materials and methods for their preparation and use are described. The materials can have multiple particles or voids arranged in a crystal structure. The materials can reflect various types of light such as visible light, ultraviolet light, or infrared light.

Silkworm silk, has been processed into a variety of new material formats including, hydrogels, ultrathin films, thick films, conformal coatings, 3D porous or solid matrices, fibers and many related material formats. Silk is processed in an all water-based, room temperature, neutral pH environment, is mechanically stable, edible, and biocompatible. Given the favorable material properties, the use of silk-based inks have been used in a variety of controlled chemical and biological material fabrication on the micro- and nano-scale. Tuning of the properties of silk-based inks has led to the utilization of more diverse printing techniques and has expanded the scale and function of the printed substrates.

Methods for coloration of substrates, including textiles, by plasma polymerization of dyes to which polymerizable moieties have been chemically bonded at sites on the dye capable of bonding to such moieties, and that have been deposited on at least one surface of the substrate, are described. Atmospheric pressure plasmas were used for the polymerization process. Generally, the plasma polymerization is performed away from the dye deposition so that undeposited dye is not exposed to the plasma. Textiles may include cotton, polyester, wool, silk, acrylics, polypropylene, polyolefins, aramids, and nylon, and blends thereof. The plasma-polymerizable moiety may be chosen from acrylates, methacrylates, and vinyl amides. Dye functional groups may include hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups, amines: primary, secondary, and tertiary, epoxides, carboxylic acids, and chlorides, and dyes may include acid dyes, disperse dyes, azo dyes, vat dyes, sulfur dyes, direct dyes, reactive dyes, basic dyes, pigment dyes, aniline dyes, anthraquinone dyes, and coumarin dyes, as examples.

The present disclosure describes methods of printing, textile printing systems, and printers. In one example, a method of printing can include jetting an ink composition onto a substrate, the ink composition including an evaporable solvent, a colorant, and a non-curable polymeric binder. The ink composition on the substrate can be exposed to electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength from 350 nm to 420 nm. The exposure of the ink composition can begin from 0 ms to 600 ms after jetting the ink composition. The electromagnetic radiation can heat the ink composition to evaporate a portion of the evaporable solvent from the ink composition within 5 ms to 500 ms after the beginning of the exposure.

An example of an inkjet ink for textile printing includes a polycarbodiimide, a pigment, a sulfonated polyester-polyurethane binder, and a liquid vehicle. Examples of the inkjet ink may be used in textile printing kits and printing methods with a textile fabric. Examples of the textile fabric may be selected from the group consisting of cotton, polyester, nylon, and silk.

The present disclosure relates to a natural dyeing method using fermented persimmon juice, and more particularly to a natural dyeing method using fermented persimmon juice, which prevents the discoloration of a naturally dyed fabric, is harmless to the human body, and exhibits excellent color development, excellent antibacterial activity, excellent deodorization, and excellent dyeing fastness such as friction fastness and light fastness.

This invention relates to an elastic functional textile fabric and dyeing and finishing method thereof. The fabric provided mainly comprises at least one elastic yarn. An ironing machine is used to process the fabric to maintain warp-wise smoothness and flatness. After ironing, a sanforizing machine is used to sanforize the fabric, and then the fabric undergoes a scutching procedure. Then, a setting machine is used to preset the scutched fabric, the fabric undergoes a dyeing procedure to form an elastic fabric. Then, the elastic fabric undergoes a second scutching procedure and a second setting procedure to form the finished product as the elastic functional textile fabric according to this invention. Through the production method disclosed above, problematic situations like insufficient weft weight, unsmooth fabric surface, pitting surface, uneven dyeing, side shading, poor fastness, chromatic aberration, dyelot chromatism, insufficient elasticity, as well as spray burns, etc can be dramatically reduced.
