Abstract
A method for providing a textile product includes the steps of providing yarns, contacting the yarns with a support material to form an intermediate product and bonding the yarns to the support material to form the textile product, wherein the bonding takes place by providing a reactive nucleus precursor at a site where the yarns contact the support material, and converting the precursor into a compound having multiple reactive nuclei in the presence of a compound having multiple nucleophilic groups, as well as a textile product obtainable by the method, uses of that product and lignin for use in producing such a textile product.
Claims23
A method for producing a textile product comprising the steps of:
- providing yarns,
- contacting the yarns with a support material to form an intermediate product and
- bonding the yarns to the support material to form the textile product, said step of bonding including the steps of:
- providing a reactive nucleus precursor at a site where the yarns contact the support material, and
- converting the precursor into a compound having multiple reactive nuclei in the presence of a compound having multiple nucleophilic groups.
A textile product comprising a pile of yarns bonded to a support material by in situ creating a bonding material by converting a reactive nucleus precursor into a compound having multiple reactive nuclei in the presence of a compound having multiple nucleophilic groups.
Method to recycle a textile product comprising:
- providing a used textile product comprising a first type of yarns comprising keratin fibres, which yarns are enzymatically bonded to a material comprising a second type of yarns comprising cellulose fibres of natural origin, and
- bringing the used textile product in a form suitable for use in a substrate to grow plants.
Use of lignin for bonding yarns to a support material to form a textile product.
Method that provides an alternative for the burning of lignin as a fuel, comprising the steps of:
- taking a plant having lignin in its structure,
- pulping the plant,
- isolating lignin from the pulp, and
- providing the lignin as a binder precursor for use in a method to produce a textile product,
- providing yarns,
- contacting the yarns with a support material to form an intermediate product and
- bonding the yarns to the support material to form the textile product, wherein the bonding includes the steps of:
- applying the lignin at a site where the yarns contact the support material,
- followed by enzymatically converting the lignin into a binder that bonds the yarns to the support.
