Benefits of technology

[0034]The releasing can occur during one of spinning, weaving, and/or finishing the fabric. The releasing also can occur during a heat treatment. The releasing also can

Problems solved by technology

The inherently hydrophobic materials are not strong and do not mechanically function like traditional synthetic (e.g., nylon, polyester) or natural (e.g., cotton, silk) fibers.
In addition, the inherently hydrophobic materials do not aid in dyeing of the fabric or are not amenable to other finishes that may be applied to the surface of the fabric, such as flame retardants, an

Abstract

Staple fibers and compositions formed from staple fibers are disclosed herein. The fibers are functionalized with molecules that render fabrics comprising the disclosed fibers hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and/or release molecules upon exposure to an external stimulus. Also presented are methods of synthesizing the same and a fabric comprising woven yarns including the staple fiber.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 424,856, filed on Nov. 21, 2016, and to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 429,486, filed on Dec. 2, 2016, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]This disclosure relates to fibers. More specifically, this disclosure relates to stimuli responsive release from a fiber.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0003]Rendering textiles hydrophobic can enable their use in environments where the textile may be exposed to water or high humidity conditions. It may be desirable to protect the user from such moisture to enable a comfortable feel for a user.[0004]Traditionally, fluorinated molecules, organosilicon molecules, polyolefins, and waxes were used to impart hydrophobicity to fabrics. There are techniques in which a fabric may be rendered hydrophobic. This can include using inherently hydrophobic materials as polytetrafluoroethylen...
