The invention relates to a process (100, 101) for the production of spunbonded nonwovens (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) and a device (200, 201) for the production of spunbonded nonwovens (1.1, 1.2, 1.3), wherein, in the process (100, 101), a spinning mass (2) is extruded through a plurality of nozzle holes (4.1, 4.2, 4.3) of at least a first spinneret (3.1) and a second spinneret (3.2) to form filaments (5.1, 5.2, 5.3) and the filaments (5.1, 5.2, 5.3) are drawn, in each case, in the extrusion direction, with the filaments (5.1) of the first spinneret (3.1) being deposited on the conveyor belt (9) to form a first spunbonded nonwoven (1.1) and the filaments (5.2) of the second spinneret (3.2) being deposited on the conveyor belt (9) to form a second spunbonded nonwoven (1.2) over the first spunbonded nonwoven (1.1) in order to obtain a multi-layered spunbonded nonwoven (10). For increasing the throughput of the process, it is suggested that the multi-layered spunbonded nonwoven (10) is separated into at least the first spunbonded nonwoven (1.1) and the second spunbonded nonwoven (1.2) in a subsequent step and the first and second spunbonded nonwovens (1.1, 1.2) after separation each undergo a hydroentanglement (15.1, 15.2) and optionally a drying (12) individually and/or are each wound up individually.

The invention provides a knitted functional fabric for wicking moisture away from the body of a user. The fabric comprises a technical face formed from a yarn; a technical back formed from a yarn; and a spacer formed from a yarn that connects the technical face to the technical back. The technical face and the technical back comprise a hydrophilic yarn.

Disclosed is a continuous preparation method of cellulose fibers, in which a forming tension of 0.1 to 1.9 cN/dtex is applied to a fine solution stream obtained by extrusion through a spinneret plate and air gap cooling, then the fine solution stream is fed into a coagulating bath at a speed of 80 to 1000 m/min, a traction tension of 0.075 to 1.5 cN/dtex is continued to be applied to washed fibers in a water washing system behind the coagulating bath, and finally, the washed fibers are fed into a post-treatment system for continuous and efficient spinning of finished fibers at a speed of 80 to 1000 m/min.

Counter-flow washing. The present invention relates to a process for washing filaments.

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.

A process for foam forming webs is disclosed. The foam formed webs can be used as wiping products, such as industrial wipers, food service wipers, and the like. The web contains a mixture of cellulosic fibers and longer, strength building fibers. The web is foam formed and then subjected to one or more hydroentangling steps. After hydroentangling, the web is dried in a non-compressive manner.

An arc resistant fabric containing a plurality of first yarns disposed in a first direction in the fabric and a plurality of second yarns disposed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction forming a woven pattern. The first and second yarns contain non-FR cellulosic fibers, modacrylic fibers, and aramid fibers intimately blended together. The woven fabric has a sateen weave. The arc resistant fabric has a weight less than about 6 oz/yd.sup.2, an arc thermal protective value (atpv) of least about 8.0 cal/cm.sup.2, and a greater thickness than a fabric using the same yarns in a plain weave.

This invention relates to a polymer composition containing at least one polymer and at least one agent, formed bodies having such a polymer composition, the use of the formed bodies and polymer compositions, and corresponding threads, nonwoven materials, clothing articles, and medical aids.
