A mesh structure is a knitted fabric or woven fabric including element wires of a zirconium copper fiber or element wires of a stainless steel fiber.

A gas diffusion layer for proton exchange membrane fuel cell and preparation method thereof are provided. The preparation method is to papermake and dry carbon fiber suspension mainly composed of a fibrous binder, water, a dispersant and carbon fibers with different aspect ratios to obtain a carbon fiber base paper, and then carbonize and graphitize under the protection of nitrogen or inert gas to obtain a gas diffusion layer for proton exchange membrane fuel cell; where the fibrous binder is a composite fiber or a blend fiber composed of a phenolic resin and other resin; where the prepared gas diffusion layer for proton exchange membrane fuel cell has a pore gradient, and the layer with the smallest pore size is an intrinsic microporous layer.

A braided EMI protective sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve has a braided, tubular wall extending lengthwise along a central longitudinal axis between open opposite ends. The wall includes a plurality of filament bundles, with each filament bundle including a plurality of filaments twisted with one another to form a plurality of loops, wherein a plurality of the loops of each filament bundle are interlinked with a plurality of the loops of an adjacent filament bundle. At least some of the filament bundles include a conductive wire filament to provide the sleeve with an EMI protective shielding capacity.

A press pad for a hydraulic heating press arrangement, the press pad including a fabric, wherein the fabric is formed by warp threads in a warp direction and weft threads in a weft direction, wherein the warp threads and the weft threads are woven together to form the fabric, and wherein functional threads run in the warp direction or in the weft direction and are connected with the fabric so that a thickness of the fabric in an effective portion of the functional threads differs from a thickness of the fabric outside of the effective portion of the functional threads.

A cleaning head is disclosed for use in a traversing shower system. The cleaning head includes a plurality of directional fluid nozzles for discharging a fluid, each of which is provided along a different direction toward a work surface such that no two directions cross one another between the cleaning head and a working surface.

Provided is a self-healable hydrogel composite including a polyacrylic acid-polyvinyl alcohol-borax (PAA-PVA-borax) fiber gel onto which transition metal ions are adsorbed. The present invention can effectively seal spaces where there is a risk of chemical leakage and visually detect the presence or absence of leakage utilizing the elongation and self-healing properties of polyvinyl alcohol and borax hydrogels.

The invention relates to a thermal insulation product based on mineral wool comprising mineral fibers, the product comprising two main faces and longitudinal and transverse edges perpendicular to the main faces, the product being characterized by the following orientation fractions: a longitudinal orientation fraction greater than or equal to 48 %, or even 50 %, along an angle of more or less 6° with respect to the plane of the main faces, when the mineral fibers are counted only in a longitudinal cross-section, and a mean orientation fraction greater than or equal to 40 %, or even 45 %, along an angle of more or less 6° with respect to the plane of the main faces, when the mineral fibers are counted both in a transverse cross-section and in a longitudinal cross-section. The invention allows the insulating power of a thermal insulation product based on mineral wool to be improved without increasing its thickness.

A method of manufacturing a panel includes obtaining a textile scrap, the textile scrap consisting essentially of polyester, mechanically separating the textile scrap into a plurality of textile yarns, where each of the plurality of textile yarns has a first melting point that is greater than a first temperature, and obtaining a plurality of staple fibers, where the plurality of staple fibers includes bicomponent fibers each having a melting point that is less than the first temperature. The method further includes blending the plurality of textile yarns with the plurality of staple fibers to form a mixed blend of textile yarns and staple fibers, and heating and compressing the mixed blend to form the panel.

A fabric with high shielding performance and a preparation method thereof are provided. The method includes: (1) selecting a polyester textured yarn with a denier ranging from 15 D to 50 D and a polyester filament yarn with a denier ranging from 15 D to 50 D as the yarns; (2) using three guide bars for knitting in a warp knitting machine; yarn lapping movement the first guide bar and the second guide bar use the polyester textured yarn, the first guide bar and the second guide bar knit with a modified warp plain fabric structure, the third guide bar uses the polyester filament yarns, and the third guide bar knits with a chain-stitch fabric structure; (3) jet dyeing performing a direct dyeing treatment on greige by a jet dyeing machine; and (4) carrying out a Stenter setting on a setting machine.

Disclosed are concrete curing blankets having two or more channels. The channels extend longitudinally and are formed by fluid-tight seals, where all of the layers of the blanket are bonded together. The concrete curing blankets are placed over poured and curing concrete to maintain high water content in the concrete during curing and to accelerate the concrete curing and hardening processes.
