摘要:
The present invention relates to a coated microfibrous web, a process for producing the same, use thereof as a covering of a radiation protection material as well as a radiation protection device. The coated microfibrous web comprises: (i) a microfibrous web impregnated with a fluoropolymer; and (ii) a layer comprising polyurethane, which is present only on one side of the microfibrous web.

A nonwoven fabric comprises continuous polymer filaments of 0.5 to 3 denier that have been hydroentangled in a complex matrix for interconnecting filament loops, and that is otherwise substantially free of knotting, or of otherwise wrapping about one another. A process for making a nonwoven fabric comprises continuously extruding polymer filaments of 0.5 to 3 denier onto a moving support, pre-entangling the filaments with water jets, and entangling the filaments with a second set of water jets on a three-dimensional image transfer device. An apparatus for making a nonwoven fabric comprises means for continuously extruding substantially endless polymer filaments of 0.5 to 3 denier onto a moving support to form an unbonded web, a pre-entangling station for entangling the web with a plurality of water jets, and a plurality of water jets for final entanglement of the filament web on a three-dimensional image transfer device. In another aspect of the present invention, plural precursor webs, each comprising polymeric filaments, can be employed to form a laminated nonwoven fabric.

A method of making a respirator, which method includes placing an electret in a respirator body that is adapted to fit over the nose and mouth of a wearer. The electret is disposed in the respirator body such that air passes through it before being inhaled by a respirator wearer. The electret includes a nonwoven web that has fluorinated polymeric microfibers and that has at least about 25% atomic fluorine as detected by ESCA and a CF3:CF2 ratio of at least about 0.45.

摘要:
There is provided a woven fabric for use in endovascular grafting, said fabric being biostable, composed of substantially non-elastomeric yarn, and expansible in at least one yarn direction, preferably the weft direction. Expansibility of the fabric is achieved by introducing non-linearity into a yarn (such as polyester or polytetrafluoroethylene) used in weaving the fabric. The non-linear yarn is maintained in that form by an agent which may itself be a yarn. Following fabric formation resilience is advantageously imparted to the non-linear yarn prior to release of the agent. In a preferred embodiment the yarn is polyester and is crimped or twisted around the agent which is a PVA yarn. After weaving, the fabric is washed in hot water to heat-set the water insoluble yarn in its non-linear form and to selectively dissolve the agent. An endovascular graft comprising the fabric of the invention is also described.

Novel electret articles containing a polymer and a performance-enhancing additive can be identified by their thermally stimulated conductivity characteristics or their filtration properties. Electret articles such as nonwoven filter webs and respirators exhibit superior oily mist loading performance, low penetration and a small pressure drop.

A textile material whose fibers have been coated, at least in part, with fluorocarbon particles is usable in an electrophotographic printing machine to clean toner particles off a fuser roll, and to supply a toner release agent to the fuser roll. The textile material can include woven goods, as well as non-woven felts and the like. The resultant product has reduced friction and decreased fiber shedding.
