Document Summary

Modify molecular structure & crystallinity: binder staple fibers, polyester with very low melting point, mixed with regular staple fibers, heated, melts, cools, bonds, fiber webs, nonwoven interlinings, low-elongation fibers, reinforcing fibers to blend with cellulosic fibers. Increases: strength, abrasion resistance, blending weaker fiber with stronger fiber, shape memory fivers, active polymers, react to stimuli in environment, smart textile. Incorporate conductor of electrons: added to fiber-polymer raw material, durable protection, sunlight resistance. Incorporate sunlight stabilizers: added to solution dope, flame retardant. Incorporate flame resistant compound: antibacterial, antimicrobial fibers. Incorporate a compound that protects from bacterial growth. Complex modifications: biocomponent fibers, one fiber incorporates two polymers, chemically different, physically different or both, if components represent two different generic classes are biocomponent bigeneric, biocomponent fiber types, side-by-side or bilateral, core-sheath or sheath-core, matrix-fibril. Performance fibers: used to enhance human performance, three layers, moisture management layer, warmth or insulation layer, protection layer, more efficient fibers & materials, comfortable, light-weight, active sportswear.
