Abstract: The present application is directed to a method of waterless processing of textile materials using supercritical fluid, including the use of supercritical fluid to dye the textile materials, the use of supercritical fluid for a pre-processing procedure of cleansing the textile materials, and the use of supercritical fluid to wash off unfixed dyes and cleansing of the textile materials and to perform the post-processing procedure of adding functional materials after the use of supercritical fluid to dye the textile materials. The present application provides an integrated technology of pre-processing, dyeing and post-processing of textile materials using supercritical fluid. At the same time, cleansing and dyeing are performed which effectively raises the efficiency.

Abstract: A method of forming a metal alloy from a powder composition comprising first particles in a range of approximately 20-90% by weight of the powder composition, the remainder of the powder composition comprising approximately 95% by weight of second particles and 5% by weight of third particles, wherein the method includes the step of using rapid thermal processing (RTP) to sinter the powder composition.
