A cushion material 10 for hot pressing includes a cushion part 1. The cushion part 1 includes a woven fabric 5, in which a twisted yarn is used for at least one of warp 5a or weft 5b, and a polymer material 6 adhered to a surface of a fiber forming the woven fabric 5. The twisted yarn used for at least one of the warp 5a or the weft 5b of the woven fabric 5 is formed by twisting a plurality of texturized yarns made of glass fiber.

Laser fabricated graphene fiber which can be prepared from a fluorinated polyimide fiber is disclosed. The graphene fiber exhibits an ultrahigh specific surface area, facilitating excellent electrochemical properties, useful for example in tranducers, capacitors, and micro-supercapacitors.

A metal wire includes tungsten or a tungsten alloy. The metal wire has a diameter of at most 13 ?m, a tensile strength of at least 4.8 GPa, and a natural hanging length per 1000 mm of at least 800 mm.

A fabricated part for a high temperature operation including a non-metallic substrate formed of a polymer fabric of woven non-absorbent polymer filament. The substrate is heat-resistant and heat set at a temperature that is above a predetermined operating temperature of an operation of the fabricated part. The heat setting pre-shrinks/heat stabilizes the material, thereby reducing failure during use in high temperature and/or wet applications. The substrate is useful as an endless belt and other applications. The invention further includes an apparatus with a heating device configured to operate at the predetermined operating temperature, and the fabricated part within or extending through the heating device.

A heat resistant fiber assembly contains heat resistant fibers having a glass transition temperature of 100 C. or more, the heat resistant fibers being bonded together.
