Abstract:
The invention relates to a textile elementary monofilament consisting of a polyester, said textile elementary monofilament having a melting point Tm of greater than or equal to 240° C., a tenacity of greater than or equal to 2.5 cN/tex and an elongation at break of greater than or equal to 10%, and also to a process for producing such a monofilament.
Abstract:
A reinforcing element, having a cross section with a flattened overall shape and extending in a main direction and comprising at least one lateral edge made of a polymeric composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer, the lateral edge extending in a general direction substantially parallel to the main direction is treated by heating at least a part of the lateral edge, during which at least a part of the lateral edge is subjected to a plasma flow so as to raise the temperature of the part of the lateral edge above the melting point of the thermoplastic polymer.
Abstract:
A device for supporting a human body in a lying-down position, notably in a prone position, is made up of at least one shoulder support module and at least one pelvis support module. The shoulder support module and the pelvis support module are made up of a first portion that comes into contact with the human body, the first portions forming a pneumatic cavity having a valve, and the first portion of the shoulder support module being kept at a pressure of less than 0.04 bar underneath the weight of the human body.
Abstract:
Tire (1) comprising a carcass ply (2) that connects two beads (5) by way of two sidewalls (3), said carcass ply (2) being surmounted radially on the outside by a crown reinforcing zone (10) comprising a plurality of reinforcing strips (12, 14) disposed in at least two layers and coated in an elastomeric composition (13, 15), the mean overlap between the strips of the two layers being greater than 40%, the reinforcing strips (12, 14) being made of a thermoplastic film having a modulus greater than 0.9 GPa and preferably greater than 2 GPa in the main direction and in the transverse direction.
Abstract:
A high modulus textile cord (50) with at least triple twist (T1, T2, T3) comprises at least N strands (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d), N being greater than 1, twisted together with a final twist T3 and a final direction D2, each strand being made up of M pre-strands (10a, 10b, 10c), M being greater than 1, themselves twisted together with an intermediate twist T2 (T2a, T2b, T2c, T2d) and an intermediate direction D1 opposite to D2, each pre-strand itself consisting of a yarn (5) which has been twisted on itself beforehand with an initial twist T1 (T1a, T1b, T1c) and the direction D1, in which at least half of the N times M yarns have an initial elastic modulus denoted Mi which is greater than 2000 cN/tex. This textile cord can advantageously be used as a reinforcer in tires for vehicles, particularly in the belt or carcass reinforcement of these tires.
Abstract:
The reinforcing element (34) has a cross-section with a flattened overall shape having an aspect ratio greater than or equal to 5 and extending in a main direction (Z1). It comprises a lateral edge (46) made of a polymeric composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer, the lateral edge (46) extending in a general direction substantially parallel to the main direction. The reinforcing element (34) is such that R=(Uc−U1)/Uc>11%, where Uc is the average value of the microhardness of the reinforcing element (34) measured in its central part, and U1 is the average value of the microhardness of the reinforcing element (34) measured at its lateral edge (36). The lateral edge (46) does not have any ridges.
Abstract:
A panel comprises a first woven fabric, a second woven fabric, and a linking structure comprising stays linking the first woven fabric to the second woven fabric, each stay having an at-rest length that is substantially equal to the mean of the at-rest lengths of the stays, and the first woven fabric being plastically deformable in at least one of its main directions.
Abstract:
A panel comprises a non-deformable first woven fabric and a non-deformable second woven fabric, and a linking structure comprising stays linking the first woven fabric to the second woven fabric, each stay having an at-rest length that is substantially equal to the mean of the at-rest lengths of the stays, the panel comprising a cement-based foam.
Abstract:
A panel (10) comprises a first woven fabric (26), a second woven fabric (28), and a linking structure comprising stays (74) linking the first woven fabric (26) to the second woven fabric (28), at least some of the stays (74) of the linking structure having an at-rest length that is different from the mean hm of the at-rest lengths of the stays (74), and the first woven fabric (26) being plastically deformable in at least one of its main directions.
Abstract:
A composite comprises at least one reinforcing element exhibiting a surface comprising an alloy of copper and zinc, the reinforcing element being embedded in an elastomeric composition based on at least a diene elastomer, a reinforcing filler, a sulfur crosslinking system and a phenol/aldehyde resin based on at least one aromatic polyphenol and on at least one dialdehyde compound comprising two aldehyde functions, in which the content of phenol/aldehyde resin is less than 10 phr.
