  • Fabrics made of fibers having square cross section
    Publication number: 20070190884
    Abstract: Fibers of square cross sections are presented in the invention. The square fiber leads to higher packing density and results in higher wind resistance in fabrics as compared to the conventional round fibers and other polygonal fibers. Therefore, the square fiber is more suitable for manufacture of the windproof clothing. In addition, the square fibers exhibit higher luster than the round fibers and other polygonal fibers due to the flat and shiny fiber surface.

  • Novel fibers, high airtightness fabrics and a fabrication method thereof
    Publication number: 20070077840
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new tetragon fiber and a method for fabricating the same. The present invention includes: heating a thermoplastic material, extruding it from a tetragon-shaped nozzle, passing it through an airless zone, then cooling and solidifying to form threadlike substances, rolling up then processing the threadlike substances to form fibers with tetragon cross sections. The fabrics of present invention comprises a property of fine air-tightness.
