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

A sleeve for protecting an elongate member, including a bus-bar of a battery pack, and method of construction thereof are provided. The sleeve includes a knit wall having a circumferentially continuous outer surface extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite open ends. The knit wall is formed at least in part by multifilament flame-resistant yarn. The multifilament flame-resistant yarn is knit to form both the knit wall, and also first ribs extending lengthwise along the circumferentially continuous outer surface or second ribs extending annularly about said circumferentially continuous outer surface. An impervious, flame-resistant coating is bonded to an outer surface of the circumferentially continuous knit wall.

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 sleeve roll belt (10) has an inner surface (11) and an outer surface (12). The belt has a body (15) and a reinforcing structure (30). The reinforcing structure (30) has first yarns (31) arranged to a first direction (D1) of the belt, and second yarns (32) arranged to a second direction (D2) of the belt. The reinforcing structure (30) also has auxiliary yarns (31b, 31c) arranged parallel or substantially parallel to the first direction (D1) of the belt, wherein the auxiliary yarns are arranged to a depth of greater than a depth of the first yarns, measured from the outer surface (12) of the body (15) to an outer surface (31-o, 31b-o) of each yarn (31, 31b, 31c) in the depth direction of the belt, and a diameter of the auxiliary yarns is at least 20% smaller than a diameter of the first yarns.

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.

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.

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.

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

A fire-retardant and antimicrobial rayon fiber includes a preservative, e.g., zinc pyrithione, as an antimicrobial agent. The present invention is further directed to a yarn that includes the fire-retardant and antimicrobial rayon fiber. The yarn may be a sheath-and-core yarn where the fire-retardant and antimicrobial rayon fiber is incorporated into the sheath, and the core is formed from fiberglass or any other suitable material. The present invention is further directed to a fabric formed from the fire-retardant and antimicrobial rayon fiber, such as a nonwoven fabric, a knit fabric, or a woven fabric. Moreover, the present invention is further directed to an article such as one or more layers of a mattress or bedding formed from the fire-retardant and antimicrobial rayon fiber.

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.
