A fiber for artificial hair formed of a polyvinyl chloride-based resin composition. The fiber for artificial hair has a value X1 of a loss tangent tans at 70° C. of 0.06 or more and 0.12 or less, when dynamic viscoelasticity is measured under the following conditions, and has a peak in a temperature range of 90° C. or higher and 110° C. or lower. (Dynamic viscoelasticity measurement conditions)The measurement is performed by sandwiching a bundle of 40 fibers for artificial hair that are arranged at a heating rate of 4° C./min and a frequency of 1 Hz.

A woven textile includes, in at least one of the warp or weft directions, non-flocked yarns and flocked yarns. The flocked yarns include a support yarn having a core covered with an adhesive layer. The support yarn has a base diameter. Protruding filaments provide the flocked yarns with an apparent diameter. The non-flocked yarns have a diameter which is smaller than the apparent diameter and larger than the base diameter of the flocked yarns.

The present invention relates to a method of printing an image on a fibrous substrate by inkjet printing, wherein the method comprises applying a water-based ink composition onto the substrate, wherein the ink composition comprises a carboxylic or sulfonic acid functional co-polymer having an acid number of ≥225 mg KOH/g, a pigment, water and at least one organic co-solvent. The present invention also relates to use of said water-based ink composition for printing an image on a fibrous substrate by inkjet printing.

Provided are a compression-type textured strand for a wig and a method for manufacturing same. The compression-type textured strand for a wig is carried in a compressed form and, by rapid application of tension thereto before it is worn, is enabled to recover its external shape. Therefore, the strand can satisfy both the economic feasibility of the logistics process and the aesthetic sensation when it is worn.

A non-woven polymeric mat for protecting pipelines, the mat including a plurality of extruded, strands derived from a polymer blend of pelletized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin having a k-value ranging from 60 to 70 and an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), wherein the amount of TPE in the polymer blend ranges from about 2.8 parts by weight to about 4 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of PVC resin in the polymer blend and is sufficient to improve the modulus and tensile strength of the mat, and further wherein the polymer blend is devoid of a nucleating agent and is devoid of a cross-linking agent, and wherein the extruded strands have a specific gravity ranging from about 1.25 to about 1.4.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a dental cord. The method including: producing a spinning solution by dissolving a fiber-moldable hydrophobic polymer material in a solvent; spinning the spinning solution to obtain a polymer nanofiber web composed of nanofibers and including three-dimensional micropores; laminating the polymer nanofiber web to obtain a polymer membrane; slitting the polymer membrane to obtain a nanofiber tape yarn; hydrophilic-treating the nanofiber tape yarn to obtain a hydrophilic-treated nanofiber tape yarn; plying and twisting the hydrophilic-treated nanofiber tape yarn with a covered yarn to obtain a nanofiber multiple yarn; and impregnating the nanofiber multiple yarn with a hemostatic agent.

Disclosed is a method for preparation and activation of a super hydrophobic electret nanofibrous filter material for cleaning PM2.5, comprising the steps as follows: (1) dissolving polymer powders and resin into a corresponding solvent so as to prepare a polymer solution, then stirring on a magnetic stirrer and standing for use; (2) in order to reinforce the electrostatic effect of the fiber, before preparing the polymer solution, adding in organic electret nanoparticles into the solvent, then oscillating with an ultrasonic oscillator; (3) in order to reinforce the super hydrophobic effect of the filter, spraying a low surface energy solution on the prepared nanofiber with a designed nozzle to carry out modification.

The invention relates to a method for the production of a textile object having electrostatically charged fibres and to a textile object. A die arrangement comprising at least two separate dies or a multipolymer die is used for the production of fibres from different polymers, whereby the polymers are spaced sufficiently apart in a triboelectric series. During the process, the fibres produced from the polymers are co-mingled, at least in sections, and charged triboelectrically. Alternatively or in addition, the fibres are charged triboelectrically by means of an uncomplicated finishing process. Filters with quality factors greater than 0.2 can be produced with the textile object.
