METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR COOLING YARNS AND FABRICS COMPRISING A CELLULOSIC FIBER, AND ARTICLES COMPRISING SAME

摘要

In one aspect, the disclosure relates to composite fibers having a structure comprising a core component and sheath component, wherein each of the core component and the sheath component independently comprise a polymer and a disclosed cooling composition. In various further aspects, the present disclosure pertains to single-covered yarn comprising a core yarn comprising a disclosed composite fiber comprising a core component and a sheath component, and a first fiber comprising a cellulosic fiber, such that the first fiber is wrapped or surrounds the core fiber. In still further aspects, the present disclosure pertains to a fabric, e.g., a woven or knit fabric, comprising a disclosed single-covered yarn. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.
