Abstract
Disclosed are textile fibers, yarns, and fabrics having improved comfort and water and odor adsorption properties, and methods of manufacturing same. The improved textiles have an increased distribution of adsorbing particles distributed at the surface of the fibers and yarns to enable greater overall surface area for adsorbance.
Claims20
A method for making a fiber, said method comprising:
- a. providing a liquid polymer or liquid polymer solution;
- b. doping said liquid polymer or liquid polymer solution with 0.1%-2% particles by weight to create a particle-doped polymer, said particles capable of adsorbing water;
- c. forming the fiber from said particle-doped polymer;
- and
- d. removing a portion of the surface layer of the fiber to expose a subset of the particles to the outside environment.
2 more elements
The method of claim 2, wherein the particles are (a) present at a concentration of 250-20,000 parts per million, or (b) uniformly distributed throughout the cross section of the fiber out to and including the surface of the fiber.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
