A dustproof fabric which includes an antistatic dustproof fabric having excellent antistatic properties, a high air permeability and high-level dustproof properties is provided. The antistatic dustproof fabric includes two or more fiber layers. At least one of the two or more fiber layers is a first fiber layer which contains a nonionic antistatic agent; and at least one of the two or more fiber layers is a second fiber layer which is electrically charged.

A roofing underlayment that resists water ingress around fasteners that are used to secure the underlayment to a substrate, such as a roof deck, is provided. The roofing underlayment includes a base layer, a coating layer applied to the base layer, and a water-swellable composition. An upper surface of the roofing underlayment may have a water contact angle of at least 120.

The present invention provides a stretch sheet (1) for an absorbent article in which a plurality of elastic filaments (4) that are arranged so as to extend in one direction without intersecting one another are joined to extensible sheet materials (2 and 3) over their entire length in a substantially non-stretched state. Some or all of the plurality of elastic filaments (4) are constricted filaments (40) having at least one narrow portion (40k) in a cross section that is orthogonal to a longitudinal direction (Y). It is preferable that the cross section of each constricted filament (40) that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction (Y) has a shape in which a plurality of circles are connected together in a partially overlapping state, and it is preferable that the center-to-center distance between adjacent circles is shorter than the sum of the radius of a first one of the circles and the radius of a second one of the circles, and longer than the shorter radius of the radius of the first circle and the radius of the second circle.

The invention relates to a magnetically responsive scrim containing a scrim which contains a plurality of yarns and a magnetically responsive coating covering at least a portion of the yarns of the scrim. The magnetically responsive coating contains magnetically responsive particulate material and a binder, where the magnetically responsive coating is at least about 40% by weight magnetically responsive particulate material, and where the magnetically responsive coating has an areal density of at least twice the areal density of the scrim.

A camouflage cover that is simple to deploy and store and is robust to all weather conditions and storage cycles provides a close visual match and close visible and IR spectral signature matches to surrounding vegetation. The cover incorporates a mixture of SAP and cellulose pulp containing approximately 90% water laminated between opaque, non-woven Tencel layers to emulate the spectral signature of leaves. Outer polymer film layers prevent water evaporation of the SAP. Organic dye-printed patterns can be applied to one or more of the Tencel and film layers. The SAP mixture can be limited to leaf regions of the cover, whereby branch regions include cellulose but not SAP. The cover can be petalized by cuts made, for example, along leaf and branch region boundaries. A gloss-controlling aerogel coating can be applied to outer surfaces of the camouflage cover to match a gloss of the vegetation.

Fabrication of ballistic resistant fibrous composites having improved ballistic resistance properties. More particularly, ballistic resistant fibrous composites having high interlaminar lap shear strength between component fiber plies or fiber layers, which correlates to low composite backface signature. The high lap shear strength, low backface signature composites are useful for the production of hard armor articles, including helmet armor.

A fabric printable medium includes a fabric base substrate, which includes yarn strands and voids among the yarn strands. The fabric printable medium further includes a finishing coating attached to the yarn strands of the fabric base substrate to form coated yarn strands. The finishing coating includes polymeric compound or a mixture of polymeric compounds having a glass transition temperature is less than 15 C. The fabric printable medium has pore spaces among the coated yarn strands that coincide with at least some of the voids of the fabric base substrate.
