The invention provides a process for preparing dyed, polypropylene-based fibres. Polypropylene having a Melt Flow Index of 45 or less is combined with an additive blend to provide the polypropylene-based polymer composition for forming into fibres. The additive blend is a terpolymer of ethylene, acrylic or methacrylic ester and maleic anhydride or glycidyl methacrylate combined with an amine-terminated polyamide, in weight ratio 3:1 to 1:1. Fatty acid monoglyceride may also be used in the polymer composition to further improve dyeability. The polypropylene-based fibres are readily dyeable by contacting the fibres with an aqueous dispersion of a disperse dye, to provide fibres with high colour intensity (deep hues) and high dye substantivity and colour fastness, without the need to employ temperatures in excess of the atmospheric pressure boiling point of the dye dispersion.

Microcapsules for delivery of a liquid onto a surface such as a hard surface or a textile, such as mattress ticking, are disclosed. The microcapsules have a shell with an outer face and an inner face, the inner face encapsulating the liquid, and the liquid contains a microorganism such as a beneficial microorganism in a dormant state. The outer face of the microcapsules may comprise reactive functional groups whereby the outer face is chemically bondable, for instance covalently bondable to said surface. The microcapsules provide a beneficial microflora on said surface by rupture of the capsules deposited onto said surface to release the microorganism onto said surface. This may reduce or obviate the need for chemical antimicrobial agents to clean said surface. For surfaces which are fabrics or textiles, rupture and release may occur during use of the fabric or textile.

A method of treatment for synthetic or natural fibre or yarn includes coating the fibre/yarn with a dispersion of carbon nanotubes in a coating composition which is cured by actinic radiation, such as UV, to provide a flexible conductive layer on the fibre/yarn. The liquid coating composition is sheared along the direction of a long axis of the yarn as it is applied to the yarn whereby the carbon nanotubes are substantially aligned prior to curing of the coating layer to provide improved longitudinal conductance. The method provides conductive fibre/yarn, from which anti-static textiles and fabrics can be formed, by treatment of conventional fibre/yarn and in a method with low energy consumption. The improved conductance allows thin or partial (e.g. stripe) coating layers to be used for yarns which provide good feel and handle, combined with good conductivity, for textiles formed from the yarns Coating compositions for use in the method are disclosed as are anti-static yarns, fibres fabrics and textiles resulting from the method.
