A method for reinforcing a concrete structure so as to have high substrate visibility and sufficient reinforcing performance. A fiber sheet for reinforcing a concrete structure, the sheet including: a framework in which a filament-based, multi-axial mesh sheet and a matrix resin are integrated, wherein the multi-axial mesh sheet has a base weight amount in a range of 500 g/m.sup.2 to 1000 g/m.sup.2.

A composite comprises: at least one reinforcing element (10), an adhesive layer (14) made from an adhesive composition and coating the reinforcing element (10), an elastomeric bonding layer (16) made from an elastomeric bonding composition and directly coating the adhesive layer (14), and an elastomeric body made from an elastomeric matrix and embedded in which is the reinforcing element (10) coated with the adhesive layer (14) and with the elastomeric bonding layer (16). The adhesive composition comprises a phenol-aldehyde resin based: on an aromatic polyphenol comprising at least one aromatic ring bearing at least two hydroxyl functions in the meta position relative to one another, the two positions ortho to at least one of the hydroxyl functions being unsubstituted; and on an aromatic aldehyde bearing an aldehyde function, comprising at least one aromatic ring.

The invention relates to a water-repellent and lipophilic composite needle-punched nonwoven fabric and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: blending a PET fiber and a polyolefin-based fiber in a mass ratio of 3:1-1:3, and performing needle punching to obtain a composite needle-punched nonwoven fabric; carrying out hot-drying treatment on the composite needle-punched nonwoven fabric at 110-160° C. for 40-90 min; and carrying out water-repellent finishing on the hot-dried fabric using 50-70 mL/L of an aqueous solution of a modified resin-based fluorine-free waterproofing agent, and drying to obtain the water-repellent and lipophilic composite needle-punched nonwoven fabric, wherein the water-repellent finishing is dip rolling, the air pressure is 1.8 kPa and the liquid carrying rate is 160-230%. The preparation method of the invention is simple, and the prepared composite needle-punched nonwoven fabric has significantly improved water repellency, lipophilicity and tensile strength compared with the fabric before treatment.

A textile having a surface that is coated with a compound of formula I or formula II.

An inorganic and organic insulating polymer comprising a methyl phenyl silicone polyester with a thixotropic index from about 6 to about 9 that is effective to gel and cure very quickly so that the polyester can be applied, such as by spraying, to a pipe or other object to provide insulation and protection without sagging or deformation.

The present invention provides a process for modifying the surface of a polyvinyl alcohol film or fabric by applying heat and pressure to the film or fabric to increase the moisture on the surface which is held by the fabric and to coalesce the surface fibers and reduce the porosity of the surface.
