Cellulosic Fabric with Silk Peptide/ Building Block Manopolymer

Summary

The present invention relates a method of making a coated cellulosic textile, whereby a silk peptide is polymerized with a building block to develop a silk peptide/building block nanoparticle, said nanoparticle then being used to coat the textile. The resultant textile exhibits a high level of wrinkle recovery angle and/or tear strength, all without the use of N-methylol compounds, including ureas and formaldehydes.

Title: Cellulosic fabric with silk peptide/building block nanopolymer
Usefulness: Cellulosic fabric with silk peptide/building block nanopolymer
Summary: For making a coated substrate selected from cotton, wool, angora, flax, silk, jute, modal, velvet, fur, leather, and natural material/synthetic material blends (claimed).
Novelty: Making a coated substrate e.g. cotton, wool, involves adding a silk peptide to a treated bath containing a building block, polymerizing the peptide with building block and applying the peptide/building block polymer to the substrate
