Abstract:
A reinforced plastic composite structure includes multiple layers, with at least one layer including an electrically-conductive element incorporated in a fabric substrate. A fabric substrate with an electrically-conductive element can be referred to as an e-textile. The electrically-conductive element of the electrically-conductive fabric layer is connected to a controller for analysis of the fabric's changing electrical properties over time as a way to identify and prevent failure of the composite structure.
Abstract:
A fabric is formed of yarns having soiling-hiding and soiling-prone characteristics which are visually distinct one from the other in the surface of the fabric once the fabric has been soiled. The soiling-prone yarns comprise yarns formed of multi-lobal fibers or filaments where the soiling particles collect in the cavities of the lobed surfaces. Preferably, the soiling-hiding yarns are formed of hollowfil synthetic fibers or filaments. By embedding one or more yarns of the soiling-prone type in the fabric, e.g., carpet, the yarns become differentially visually distinctive relative to one another upon soiling of the fabric.
Abstract:
A carpet having a pile layer, a support layer and a rear coating. The carpet has an intermediate layer formed from a mat comprising fibrous parts made predominantly of plastic which are in part thermoplastic and of low-melting point fibers and in part higher-melting point fibers, and melted regions providing coherence of both of the fibers, the melted regions being formed of partly melted regions of the low-melt-ing point thermoplastic fibers.
Abstract:
A method of producing a nonwoven mat from recycled carpet. The carpet comprises high and low melting thermoplastic fibers. The method comprises shredding the carpet into pieces, scattering the pieces onto a support web to form a layer and heating at least the surface thereof to affect melting of the lower melting thermoplastic fibers.
Abstract:
A camouflage material, preferably in the form of a camouflage mat, for use as protection against radar observation, comprises a support layer (1) with filament or threadlike pieces, which affect radar waves, for example carbon or metal thread. With a view to optimal protection against radar observation, these substances are applied to the support layer (1) with arbitrarily mutual directions and positions and with random spatial orientations and distribution.
Abstract:
A composite elastic layer, which has improved resistance to shear force and functions both as a cushioning material and as a sound proof material, is comprised of a loop pile tufted fabric, which is made from a backing fabric and a plurality of loop piles. An elastomer composition is applied to the pile stratum of the loop pile tufted fabric. The elastomer composition infiltrates into voids between fibers of the loop pile, and forms a solid skin on the fibers of the loop pile. The composite elastic layer reinforces the elastic property of the loop pile, and on the other hand, the fiber of the loop pile also reinforces the tensile strength, especially the resistance to tearing, of the solid skin.
Abstract:
METHOD OF BACK-COATING PILE CARPET CONTAINING PILE YARNS BOUND BY EMBEDMENT IN A RELATIVELY IMPREVIOUS POLYMER LAYER COMPRISING THE STEPS OF PERFORATING THE IMPERVIOUS LAYER TO PERMIT PASSAGE OF GASES THERETHROUGH, AND APPLYING A HEAT BONDABLE POLYMERIC BACK-COATING TO THE PERFORATED CARPET.
Abstract:
A PILE FABRIC COMPRISING: (A) A BACKING MATERIAL AND, (B) PILE LOOPS ANCHORED IN SAID BACKING MATERIAL, SAID PILE LOOPS COMPRISING: (1) A FLAMMABLE FIBER AND, (2) A METALLIC LAMINATE THREAD COMPRISING: (A) A SELF-SUPPORTING METAL PLY AND, (B) A POLYMERIC PLY BONDED TO THE METAL PLY.
THESE PILE FABRICS ARE SELF-EXTINGUISHING AND STATIC CHARGE RESISTANT.
Abstract:
MOLDED, THERMOPLASTIC, THREE-DIMENSIONAL SYNTHETIC SOD PROJECTIONS EXTENDING FROM THE MATRIX TO SIMULATE BLADES OF GRASS AND A BONDED BACKING ON THE UNDER SIDE OF THE MATRIX. THE BACKING IS COMPOSED OF A SYNTHETIC FIBROUS, POROUS FABRIC WHICH SERVES TO PREVENT WEED GROWTH AND EROSION AND YET IS POROUS WHICH ALLOWS SEEPAGE OF WATER THROUGH THE SOD. THE FABRIC ALSO ALLOWS BONDING OF THE MATERIAL TO SUBSTRATES, SUCH AS ASPHALT. IN AN ADDITIONAL FEATURE, A FOAM MATERIAL, SUCH AS POLYURETHANE FOAM MAY BE BONDED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FABRIC WHEN IT IS DESIRABLE THAT THE PRODUCT BE OF THE NON-SLIP TYPE SUCH AS DOORMATS, ETC.
Abstract:
The invention involves the technical field of daily necessities, and in particular, relates to an easy-to-clean waterproof and breathable bib fabric, a preparation method, and a bib. A layer structure of the bib fabric is as follows: a hydrophobic and oleophobic surface layer, a polyurethane waterproof layer, an antibacterial and antistatic layer, and a woven layer. The hydrophobic and oleophobic surface layer has waterproof and breathable properties, is not easy to be adhered to by dirt, and is easy to clean. The polyurethane waterproof layer keeps liquids from penetrating the fabric, and the porous structure also allows for breathability. The antibacterial and antistatic layer can remove the static electricity generated by the fabric, protect the polyurethane waterproof layer from being decomposed by molds, inhibit the growth of bacteria inside the woven layer, and produce antibacterial and deodorizing effects. Further, a bib using the fabric and a preparation method are provided.
