A hybrid woven textile for reinforcing a polymer matrix of a composite material that includes inorganic fibers selected from glass fibers, basalt fibers, carbon fibers, ceramic fibers, quartz fibers and silica fibers, and natural organic fibers, characterized in that the inorganic fibers and the natural organic fibers are co-woven, co-braided or co-knitted with one another.

A knit sleeve for providing thermal protection about an elongate member contained therein and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a circumferentially continuous, tubular knit inner wall bounding a central cavity that extends lengthwise along a longitudinal central axis between open opposite ends. The sleeve further includes a knit outer wall with opposite edges extending lengthwise in generally parallel relation with the longitudinal central axis, with one of the opposite edges of the knit outer wall being integrally knit to the inner wall and the other of the opposite edges of the outer wall being wrappable about the inner wall into fixed relation about the inner wall.

The present invention relates to shaped, bone fiber-based products and methods to make the same.

The invention relates to a fabric. The fabric (10) comprises, in the fabric material, threads (11a1, 12a1; 13a1, 14a1) of a material conducting electricity well, by means of which electro-magnetic radiation and magnetic fields are filtered. The threads (11a1, 12a1; 13a1, 14a1) are placed next to each other. Furthermore, the threads are wound around their winding axes (X1, X2; Y1, Y2) so that the first thread (11a1, 13a1) in the fabric is wound clockwise, and the second thread (12a1, 14a1) next to it is wound counterclockwise.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a mechanoluminescent fiber. The method includes the steps of: preparing an elastic fiber having a longitudinal groove on the surface thereof; forming a primer layer including a coupling agent on the elastic fiber; filling the groove of the elastic fiber with a mixture of a stress transfer substance and a stress luminescent substance; and forming a silicon adhesive layer on the elastic fiber of which the groove is filled with the mixture of a stress transfer substance and a stress luminescent substance. The silicon adhesive layer is 3-dimensionally bonded to the elastic fiber and the mixture of a stress transfer substance and a stress luminescent substance.

The present invention relates to shaped, bone fiber-based products and methods to make the same.

The invention relates to lithium-based battery systems and, more particularly, to electro-spinable solution compositions, electro-spun sulfur-polymer fibers, e.g., wires and yarns, and their use in preparing high performance sulfur mattes, e.g., electrodes, for lithium-sulfur batteries with potential applications in small-scale mobile devices. The sulfur-polymer fibers have nanoscale dimensions and yarn-like morphology. The sulfur-polymer fibers can be prepared by co-dissolving sulfur and polymer in a solvent for forming the electro-spinable solution, and electrospinning the solution. The electrospun fibers can be used to form a composite that includes alternating layers of the electrospun fibers and polymer on a current collector.

Materials and pipes made from woven, knit, spun or braided fiber threads that provide high tensile strength and caustic resistance. A fibrous material, made from a substance such as fiberglass or basalt, is bound to an epoxy resin, which is cured to create a durable material that can be used in several applications, including applications involving high heat and caustic materials.

Porous pipes and porous materials are providing having maximum porosity, together with methods for making the same. The porous materials and pipes have high tensile strength and caustic resistance. The porous pipe may include a fabric layer forming a hollow pipe and made from fiber thread; an epoxy resin bound to the fiber thread; and a plurality of pores formed through the pipe and dispersed along the length of the pipe. The fabric layer can be created by weaving the fiber thread into a woven material; by spinning the fiber thread into a spun material; by knitting the fiber thread into a knit material or by braiding the fiber thread into a braided material.

A method to manufacture composite fibers of rice husk and charcoal includes the following steps. Heat and grind the rice husk and the charcoal and blend with PET to form first granules and second granules respectively wherein mass fractions of rice husk and charcoal are 15-20 wt %. The mass fraction of rice husk in the first granules and that of the charcoal in the second granules are equal. Blend the first granules and the second granules to form mixed granules. Blend and melt the mixed granules and PET to form a mixture wherein the summation of the mass fractions of rice husk and charcoal in the mixture is 0.2-2 wt %. Form composite fibers from the melted mixture by a procedure of filament making.
