  • Patent number: 4070505
    Abstract: Paramagnetic susceptibility has been imparted to raw unprocessed cotton fibers by impregnating the fibers with a paramagnetic organometallic rare earth compound dissolved in hydrocarbon solvent. The strength of the imparted property is sufficient to allow for the manipulation of the textile fibers by magnetic force fields in conjunction with radically new techniques of textile processing. The paramagnetic susceptibility is removable and whatever paramagnetic compound use is recoverable.
