Abstract: A method characterized by entirely or partially coating a shaped material of synthetic resin or fibers with an adhesive having incorporated therein a thermally color-changeable particulate material which comprises three components enclosed or encapsulated in a high-molecular-weight compound, the three components being an electron donating chromogenic substance, an electron accepting substance corresponding to the chromogenic substance and a solvent having a boiling point of at least 150.degree. C. and selected from among alcohols, amides, esters and azomethines; and electrostatically flocking the adhesive layer with colored or colorless short fibers. The treated material is useful for making stuffed toys or dolls.

Abstract: A transfer printing sheet comprising a base sheet, a releasing resin layer coating the surface of the base sheet entirely or partially, a layer of a pattern printed on the release resin layer and comprising an elastic high-polymer resin and a pigment in admixture, and a layer containing an agent for dissolving synthetic fibers and covering the entire surface of the pattern layer. When the sheet is subjected to heat and pressure, the pattern of the pattern layer can be transferred onto a fabric of synthetic fiber in contact with the layer containing the dissolving agent to give a distinct print having a soft hand and outstanding color fastness against rubbing, washing and light.
