Abstract

A surface-finished yarn having multiple inorganic materials is provided. The surface-finished yarn comprises a yarn, a first material and a second material. The surface of the yarn comprises a plurality of the plurality of first regions and a plurality of second regions wherein the plurality of first regions and the plurality of second regions are alternately disposed along an axial direction of the yarn. The first material is disposed onto the plurality of first regions while the second material different from the first material is disposed onto the plurality of second regions.

Claims
