NATURAL OR SYNTHETIC YARNS WITH HIGH ABSORPTION PROPERTY OBTAINED BY INTRODUCTION OF SUPERABSORBENT HYDROGEL

摘要

Production of yarns able to absorb the sweat, by introduction of super absorbent material (hydrogel) inside the yarn itself, and eventually to release perfume, previously absorbed inside the hydrogel. The super absorbent hydrogel are reticulated polymers, able to absorb up to 2 litre of water per gram of dry material. Production of yarns able to absorb the sweat, by introduction of super absorbent material (hydrogel) inside the yarn itself, and eventually to release perfume, previously absorbed inside the hydrogel. Hydrogel sweat absorption increases the comfort, since the sportsman hangover sensation is often due to the sweat direct contact with the skin. Once washed and dried, the fabric realized with such a yarn is ready for reuse, because the hydrogel absorption characteristics are fully reversible and remain even after the washing. Moreover the hydrogel is able to absorb the perfume of the washing soap and, thanks to its nature, to keep it for a long time and to release it slowly.
