A method of applying fragrance to a fabric substrate includes bleaching a cotton fabric substrate, mercerizing the cotton fabric substrate, and preparing the cotton fabric substrate for dyeing. The method includes making a foam containing a bonding material made of an acrylic polymer or a carboxylated, heat-reactive, styrene-acrylic copolymer, a surfactant, water, and microcapsules of a fragrant material in a ratio of about 40% bonding material, about 2% surfactant, about 45% water, and about 13% microcapsules of a fragrant material. The cotton fabric substrate is passed through a foam applicator where the foam is applied to the cotton fabric substrate using a top applicator of a foaming machine to apply the foam to a face of the fabric substrate in a wet-pickup range of 25% to 10%.

Dispensed adhesive compositions comprising the disclosed core-sheath filaments, the dispensed adhesive composition being a product resulting from compounding the core-sheath filament through a heated extruder nozzle. Methods of preparing core-sheath filaments.

A fabric article (100) comprising a continuous body of knitted fabric (100). The continuous body of fabric (100) comprises: a base component (101) comprising a plurality of courses of nonconductive yarn and a sensing component (107) comprising a first conductive region (109). The first conductive region (109) comprises at least one course of conductive yarn. The fabric article 100) is manufactured using a knitting machine comprising first and second needle beds. One or both of the first and second needle beds are used to knit the base component (101). The first needle bed is used to knit the first conductive region (109). A second conductive region (111) may be knit using the second needle bed. A conductive pathway (113) connecting the first conductive region (109) to the second conductive region (111) may be knit using the first or second needle bed.

Laminate precursor rolls are prepared by applying an aqueous foamed opacifying composition to a non-woven fabric, drying to form a dry foamed opacifying layer, applying an anti-blocking composition to the dry foamed opacifying layer. Each laminate precursor is rolled up for immediate or later use to make laminate decorative articles when the unrolled laminate precursor is laminated to the back side of a decorative fabric with or without an adhesive. The dry foamed opacifying layer is present at a dry coverage of less than or equal to 1000 g/m.sup.2. It is composed of (a) porous particles, (b′) a matrix material that is derived from a (b) binder material, (c) two or more additives comprising at least one foaming surfactant and at least one foam stabilizer, a very low amount of (d) an aqueous medium, and (e) an opacifying colorant that absorbs electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of 380-800 nm.

A yarn is produced having a functional core and a covering. The core is either an active functional core having electronic components or passive components and may be monofilament or multifilament. The core and covering are introduced together such that the covering protects the core and gives the core a more comfortable feel such that the yarn may be used in textile applications. The core may be covered by various spinning methods such as air jet or Vortex air jet spinning, ring spinning, open end, or friction spinning. The yarn may also be processed in a single or double covering operation. In one embodiment, the yarn is woven into clothing.

The present invention relates to a fibrous 3-dimensional porous scaffold obtained by electro-spinning for tissue regeneration and a method for preparing the same.
