Abstract: The invention relates to a textile sheet product. According to the invention, said textile sheet product is characterized by a plurality of coating elements, which are arranged on a surface of a textile substrate layer of the sheet product in such a way that only part of the surface of the substrate layer is covered by the coating elements. The coating elements are made of a material that substantially is a mixture of a polymer material, preferably a prepolymer that can be crosslinked to form a thermoset, and a filler in the form of inorganic and/or metal particles. In a method according to the invention for producing a textile sheet product, a textile substrate layer and a coating material are provided. In order to form coating elements, a plurality of portions of the coating material are applied to a surface of the substrate layer.

Abstract: A polymer compound according to the invention comprises an acrylic acid copolymer composed of acrylic acid derivatives and/or methacrylic acid derivatives, containing: a) at least one acrylic acid derivative and/or methacrylic acid derivative substituted with a sulfonic acid group; b) at least one hydrophilically substituted acrylic acid derivative and/or methacrylic acid derivative; c) at least one lipophilically substituted acrylic acid derivative and/or methacrylic acid derivative; and d) at least one acrylic acid derivative and/or methacrylic acid derivative which acts as a crosslinking agent.

Abstract: A method is described for manufacturing a finish formulation for the hydrophobic and/or oleophobic finishing of surfaces, comprising a dispersant incorporating dispersed, activated particles with hydrophobic and/or oleophobic surface groups and a binder, in which particles with hydrophobic and/or oleophobic surface groups are comminuted in the dispersant for activation, and the binder is added before or after activation. The obtained finish formulation clearly improves the physical properties of a transparent finish while maintaining very good hydrophobing/oleophobing. It is suitable for finishing all surfaces, in particular for finishing fibers or textiles of all kinds.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to produce a textile surface (1), one side of which exhibits hydrophilic properties and the other side hydrophobic properties, whose overall cross-section is hydrophilic. To achieve this, a paste (11) consisting of a viscous emulsion or dispersion of paraffin, polysiloxane and/or fluorine compounds is applied to one side. The layer that has been formed by the first paste (11) is then stabilized by means of a drying process (4) and a second paste (12), consisting of a hydrophilic polymer is subsequently applied to the other side of the textile surface (1), said paste being stabilized by an additional drying process (5). Said steps provide a textile surface (1), which can be produced simply and cost-effectively, is extremely comfortable to wear and which ensures that moisture is immediately absorbed on the hydrophilic side, dispersed over a large area and rapidly removed, whereas the hydrophobic side of said textile surface (1) repels water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing electrospun fibers comprising polyethyleneimine nanoparticles (PEIN). The use of PEIN permits the antibacterial finishing of electrospinnable polymers, provided that these polyethyleneimine nanoparticles are particles of derivatized polyethyleneimine (PEI), since pure underivatized PEI has no antibacterial action. Preference is given to using quaternized polyethyleneimine. The electrospinnable polymers can be coated with PEIN during and/or after the electrospinning. The polymeric fibers obtainable by the process according to the invention can be used for textile fibers, for example for the production of fibers for functional apparel or for fibrous nonwoven webs or fibrous mats for cell culture substrates.

Abstract: A method is provided for the application of a finishing layer to a textile support material. A water repellent or oil repellent layer, a so-called finishing layer, is applied to a textile support material selected from the group of fibers, tissues and fabrics. The water repellent or oil repellent finishing layer comprises at least two water repellent or oil repellent components wherein a first component comprises one or more dispersants and a second component comprises one or more dispersed phases or colloids, and wherein the dispersant and the dispersed phase are present in the gel state.

Abstract: Methods for coating fibers and material to achieve particular properties such as water repellency, oil repellency and self-cleaning, are provided. These properties are achieved by pre-treating the fibers or material and subsequently coating with prepolymers and nanoparticles. The prepolymers are partly substituted with hydrocarbon groups or fluorocarbon groups. The nanoparticles may have surfaces treated with hydrocarbons or fluorocarbons. The prepolymers are fixed and hardened by irradiation with light of a wavelength in the UV or visible regions.

Abstract: Formulations for dressing, dressing layers, dressed textile fibers and textile fabrics, and methods for dressing textile fibers and textile fabrics are provided. The textiles can receive, a plurality of times, active substances, or active ingredients, which can be deposited in a isotropic manner to the surrounding medium or in an anisotropic manner in a directly adjacent layer by means of a locally oriented material flow. The dressing layers are characterized by their ability to swell and to receive active substances. Polymer layers form nano pockets during swelling which can receive one or several guest molecules. The active substances can be deposited when the loaded textiles are worn and absorbed by the skin of the wearer, either cutaneously or percutaneously, to produce the desired effect.
