US Patent:

48081914, Feb 28, 1989

Filed:

Jun 4, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/058104

Inventors:

Richard V. Gregory - Spartanburg SC
Daniel T. McBride - Chesnee SC

Assignee:

Milliken Research Corporation - Spartanburg SC

International Classification:

D06P 500

US Classification:

8478

Abstract:

A process is provided for the pattern dyeing of textile materials wherein dye migration may be inhibited by the in-situ formation of a coordination complex of metal-thickener-dye when the dye-thickener solution is applied to the textile material pretreated with an aqueous solution of a water soluble salt of the metal. The metal is selected from zirconium, hafnium or aluminum. The thickener may be a naturally derived aqueous system thickener, such as guar gum, xanthan gum or other water-soluble gum thickener or may be a synthetically derived aqueous system thickener, such as polyacrylics and polyacrylamides.

Filed:

Feb 11, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/835099

Inventors:

Louis W. Adams - Spartanburg SC
Michael W. Gilpatrick - Chesnee SC
Richard V. Gregory - Anderson SC

Assignee:

Milliken Research Corporation - Spartanburg SC

International Classification:

B32B 300

US Classification:

428195

Abstract:

An electrically conductive textile fabric in which the electrical conductivity may be made to vary in a pattern configuration, and a method for manufacturing such fabric. A textile fabric is coated with an electrically conductive polymeric coating, and the coating is selectively removed in those areas in which a reduced electrical conductivity is desired. The removal may be achieved by means of high velocity water jets, sculpturing, or other means.
