A method of defining a rib structure within an iso-grid composite component according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, defining a first rib at least partially with a uni-tape ply bundle at a first level, the uni-tape ply bundle including uni-tape plies and a first spacer ply, and defining a second rib transverse to the first rib at least partially with a spacer at the first level, the spacer including a second, different spacer ply, the spacer transverse to the uni-tape ply bundle such that the spacer is interrupted by the uni-tape ply bundle.

The invention relates to a method for producing a separation net and to a separation net (10), in particular for vehicle interiors, which has a net-like, tear-resistant textile web (11) formed of textile threads (12), which is cut to any peripheral contour, wherein the loose ends (13) of the textile threads (12) that were created by a separating cut are securely bound at the edges in a plastic material of a single-layered edge strip (18). The textile web (11) can have any peripheral contour, and the loose ends (13) of the textile threads (12) of the textile web (11) that were created by a cutting to size are embedded at least at the side edges (16, 17).

One or more embodiments of a respirator that includes a polymeric netting is disclosed. The respirator can include a mask body including a perimeter, a harness attached to the mask body, and a face seal disposed adjacent at least a portion of the perimeter of the mask body. In one or more embodiments, the face seal includes a polymeric netting including polymeric ribbons and polymeric strands, where each of the polymeric ribbons and strands having a length, width, and height, where the length is the longest dimension, the width is the shortest dimension, and the height is the dimension transverse to the length and the width. The polymeric ribbons have a height-to-width aspect ratio of at least 5 to 1, a major surface that is intermittently bonded to only one polymeric strand, and a height that is at least two times greater than a height of the one polymeric strand.

A reinforcing article (10, 100, 200) includes a porous substrate layer (105, 205) and a plurality of parallel first continuous fiber elements (12, 114, 212) spaced apart from each other and extending along a first direction and fixed to the porous substrate (105, 205). Each first continuous fiber element (12, 114, 212) includes a plurality of parallel and co-extending continuous fibers (22, 122, 222) embedded in a thermoplastic resin (24, 124, 224).
