Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method for surface-covering technical-fabric fibers, in particular for screen-printing processes, which comprises a starting step of preparing a base solution comprising at least a molecular precursor of Si, Al, Ti, Zr oxides, a polar organic solvent, either of a protic or an aprotic type, and water to promote hydrolysis and condensing of said precursors in the presence of an acid-pH reaction acid and in the presence of a surface active agent; a step of surface actuating fabrics with an opening larger than 50 µm and a fiber diameter larger than 10 µm, by a reaction with a concentrated mineral acid and a following treatment in concentrated H 2 O 2 ; a covering step for covering the processed fabric by dipping it into the base solution, upon ageing the latter for such a time period as to induce rheologic properties for providing a homogeneous covering of fibers with a thickness less than 2 µm; and an end thermal processing step for evaporating the solvent off and thermally stabilizing the deposited material.
