Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a nonwoven extruded industrial fabric. A method of manufacture of the industrial fabric is crosshead extruding a polymeric matrix material with linear components. The linear components crosshead extruded with the polymeric matrix material may be continuous systems oriented in the machine direction. The polymeric resin matrix at least partially encompasses one or more of the linear components. The resin matrix may likewise be further reinforced by the inclusion of nanoparticles, nanomaterials, and/or chopped fibers. A faceside of the industrial belt may be smooth or may include a texture or pattern.

Abstract: The invention relates to an industrial fabric, such as a texturing belt, used to create three-dimensional structures in a product produced thereon, e.g., in the papermaking field, such as for fiber products, and in nonwoven processes. The invention concerns a texturing belt that can impart an endless variety of complex patterns utilizing discretization, such as, wherein individual subunits that comprise a pattern element are not connected, and therefore do not act as a stressed member of the texturing belt.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to an industrial fabric for producing a textured product, wherein the industrial fabric has a first layer, such as a woven base fabric, and a second layer, such as a film, that extends over at least a portion of a top surface of the first layer. The second layer has macro voids and micro voids. In certain embodiments, the macro voids impart a texture in a fiber product produced on the industrial fabric, whereas the micro voids limit or prevent penetration of the fibers of the product into the micro voids while at the same time increasing permeability of the industrial fabric.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a fiber structure by multilayer three-dimensional weaving between a plurality of weft yarns and of warp yarns, the fiber structure having at least first and second portions that are adjacent in the warp direction, the first portion presenting, in a direction perpendicular to the warp and weft directions, a thickness greater than the thickness of the second portion, includes making the first portion using a step of three-dimensionally weaving warp and weft layers in which a fiber fabric is formed in the form of a Mock-Leno weave grid in a core of the first portion together with skins at a surface of the first portion, a weave of the skins being modified locally so as to deflect certain warp yarns from said skins and weave them with the fiber fabric in the form of the Mock-Leno weave grid.

Abstract: A structure for use in a compressible resilient pad. The structure contains both axially elastomeric strands and relatively inelastic strands co-extruded in various patterns. The structure has a high degree of both compressibility under an applied normal load and excellent recovery (resiliency or spring back) upon removal of that load.
