A metal-covered liquid crystal polyester multifilament, comprising: two or more metal-covered liquid crystal polyester monofilaments in which a surface of each liquid crystal polyester monofilament is covered with a metal having a thickness of 0.1 to 20 m, wherein in a cross-sectional photograph measured by X-ray CT, a percentage of a number of stuck fibers in which the two or more metal-covered liquid crystal polyester monofilaments are stuck is 75% or less with respect to a total number of fibers.

A noise, vibration, harshness (NVH) mitigation material comprising a non-metallic woven fabric substrate impregnated with a resin and one or more elastomeric layers applied to at least one surface of the non-metallic woven fabric substrate is disclosed herein. A method to fabricate a noise, vibration, harshness (NVH) mitigation material comprising preparing an impregnating resin comprising a resin and one or more of a filler and a toughening agent; impregnating a non-metallic woven fabric substrate with the impregnating resin by soaking the non-metallic woven fabric substrate with the impregnating resin, drying the impregnated non- metallic woven fabric substrate, and curing the impregnated non-metallic woven fabric substrate; and applying one or more elastomeric coatings onto the impregnated non-metallic woven fabric substrate is also disclosed herein.

Modified regenerated collagen fibers which have improved water resistance and heat resistance problematic in regenerated collagen fibers, impart heat shape memory ability, are excellent in stretchability (tenacity) and the feel of the surfaces, and have no coloring. The modified regenerated collagen fibers contain 1.0 mass % or more of the following component (A) as benzoic acid in regenerated collagen fibers: (A) benzoic acid or a salt thereof.

To provide a woven/knitted fabric having excellent fabric/skin separation, a woven/knitted fabric is provided that includes C-shaped cross-section fibers, wherein an average standard deviation Sq of surface roughness of at least one surface of the woven/knitted fabric is 5 m or more and 100 m or less, and a ratio (Sqs/Sq) of an average standard deviation Sqs of surface roughness of the one surface when the woven/knitted fabric is elongated by 10% to the average standard deviation Sq, is 0.85 or more and 2.00 or less.
