Adaption of magnetic particles within a resin substrate of a textile article

Abstract

The present disclosure describes techniques for fabricating a textile article that incorporates bristle-like filaments protruding away from a surface plane of the textile article. The techniques describe a fabrication surface, one or more magnets positioned on the fabrication surface, an intermediary layer that overlays the one or more magnets, and a wet laminate includes a resin substrate with magnetic particles. The presence of the magnetic particles may cause the resin substrate to form bristle-like filaments in areas that the resin substrate overlays the one or more magnets.
