High luster fiber materials, methods of manufacture and uses thereof

Abstract

A plied carpet fiber material is disclosed herein that includes at least one nontextured fiber component plied with at least one additional fiber component to form the plied carpet fiber material, wherein each nontextured fiber component comprises a luster component. Plied carpet fiber materials are also disclosed herein that include: a) at least one nontextured fiber component, wherein each nontextured fiber component comprises a luster component, and b) at least one textured fiber component, wherein each textured fiber component comprises a luster component, wherein the at least one nontextured fiber component and the at least one textured fiber component are plied with one another to produce the plied carpet fiber material. Plied carpet fiber materials are also disclosed herein that include: a) at least two nontextured fiber components, wherein each nontextured fiber component comprises a luster component, and wherein the at least two nontextured fiber components are plied together to form the plied carpet fiber material. Methods are also provided for producing a plied carpet fiber material that include: a) providing at least one nontextured fiber component, wherein each nontextured fiber component comprises a luster component; b) providing at least one textured fiber component, wherein each textured fiber component comprises a luster component; and c) combining the at least one nontextured fiber component and the at least one textured fiber component to form the plied fiber material.
